• From the outside
of the upper
handle (3), slide
the lever/knob bolt
through the holes.
• Slide the washer
over the bolt and
loosely assemble
the entire
assembly with
the nut.
• Rotate the upper
handle into its
operating position.
• Close the lever, or tighten the knob. If the
lever is too tight or too loose, open the
lever and the nut to adjust the clamping.
Check the levers by closing them. They
should be tight enough so the handles
are held firmly, but loose enough so
the levers can be fully closed. Adjust by
opening the lever and turning the nut until
the handles are secured.
