Assembly

IMPORTANT: Be extremely careful when unpacking
and handling the mower and upper handle so that you
do not pull, crimp, or in any way damage the cables.

Unpacking the Mower

1. Open the box from the top.
2. Remove the fillers from the box, allowing the upper
handle to rest on the top of the mower.
3. Remove the mower from the box.
4. Lay the upper handle on the ground behind the mower
with the handle label facing up and the control cables
routed between the handle mounting brackets.

Assembling the Handle

1. Remove the four handle bolts and knobs that are
installed in the lower handle (two bolts will have flat
caps and two will be contoured to fit the handle).
2. Swing the lower handle back and the support brackets
up, aligning the brackets with the holes in the handle
(Fig. 1).
3. Secure the handle to the support brackets with the two
flat handle bolts and two knobs, using the height
adjustment holes on the brackets that best suit your
height requirements (Fig. 1)

handle so that the sections nest together (Fig. 2)
