Filling The Crankcase With Oil; Adjusting The Handle Height - Toro 22163 Operator's Manual

Important: If the handle has round holes, the
square shank of the bolts will not fit into the
holes in the handle at this time.
6. Secure the handle as follows:
• If the holes in the handle are square, align and
insert the square shank of the oval-head bolts into
the handle so that the bolt heads are tight against
the handle and tighten the locknuts (Figure 3).
• If the holes in the handle are round, align the
oval bolt heads with the handle as shown in
Figure 3; then, holding the heads in that position,
tighten each nut with a wrench to pull the square
shank into the handle until the bolt heads are
tight against the handle.
7. Tighten all the fasteners on the handle and handle
braces.
8. Use the cable tie provided to secure the control
cable(s) to the handle.
Note: Attach the cable tie as low as possible on the
handle to prevent the cable(s) from hooking onto
the end cap on the rear door rod and interfering with
the self-propel system (Figure 3).
