ASSEMBLING THE UNIT

assembled, except for the wheel bracket assembly.
NOTE: This unit is shipped without being filled with oil.
In order to avoid damage to the unit, put oil in the
crankcase before attempting to start unit.
Unpacking
1. Carefully unpack the contents and insure that
nothing is damaged.

POSITIONING THE HANDLEBARS

1. Loosen the two knobs on the inside of the
handlebars (Fig. 1).
2. With the unit upright, swing the handlebars up into
the operating position (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Take care not to pinch the throttle cable or
switch wires when positioning the handlebar.
3. Remove the foam padding from between the
handlebar assembly.
4. Tighten the knobs to secure the handlebars in place.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the knobs.

they are smooth and tight against the handlebar
assembly. This will help prevent them being caught
or snagged during normal operation.

removing the knobs and mounting bolts and
reinstalling through either the top or bottom holes in
the handlebar assembly (Fig. 2).
