Attaching The Upper Handle
(Hardware Bt
Place the upper handle in position over the lower
handle. The hole in the side of the blade control
handle (attached to the upper handle) must be on
the
left
side.
Secure the upper handle to lower handle using the
carriage bolts, split washers and hex nuts as shown
in Figure 3. The head of the carriage bolts go on the
outside of the handle.
Attaching The Control Box
One end of the brake cable is attached to the engine.
The other end is attached to the control box. Attach the
control box to the upper handle as follows.
Brake
Cable
Plastic
Fitting
NOTE: If the control handle is disassembled from the
upper handle for any reason, assemble the control
handle by inserting the ends into the holes on each side
of the upper handle. The hole in the control handle must
be on the left side of the upper handle, and control
handle must touch the upper handle when engaged
(squeezed against the upper handle).
Remove the truss machine screw and hex lock nut
from the middle of the control box using a phillips
screwdriver. Place your finger over the hex lock nut
to hold it inside the control box so you can unscrew
the truss machine screw.
Make certain the blade control handle is on
top
of
the upper handle.
Route the control box (with cable attached) under
the lower handle.
Holding the control box near the left side of the
upper handle (control box must be inside the
handle), hook the "Z" end of the brake cable into the
control handle from the
outside
to the
inside.
See
Figure 4 and Figure 5.
Place the control box on the upper handle just
below (touching) the end of the control handle as
shown in Figure 5. Secure with hardware removed
in step one by placing hex lock nut into the indent
on the inside of the control box. Screw the truss
machine screw into the hex lock nut.
Securing The Cable
(Hardware D)
Secure the cable to the left side of the handle as
follows.
WARNING: When attaching the control
cable, the cable must be routed to avoid
contact with all sharp edges and hot
surfaces to prevent damage to the cable.
Insert posts on cable ties into holes provided on the
handle. There is one on the upper handle and two
on the lower handle. See Figure 6A.
