ATTACHING THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY

Install the handle onto the tiller using the hardware pre-installed
on the handle mounting brackets. This consists of a 5/16-18 x
3.00" hex bolt, a handle crank assembly, retainer bracket and two
5/16-18 flange lock nuts. Remove this hardware from the handle
mounting brackets on the tiller. Refer to Figure 1 inset.

Insert the handle into the handle mounting brackets, lining up the
pre-drilled holes. Insert the 5/16-18 x 3.00" hex bolt in the bottom
hole from the left hand side through to the other side. Place the
round hole end of the hex retainer bracket over the hex bolt and
secure loosely with a bell washer and 5/16-18 flange lock nut
removed earlier. Refer to Figure 1 inset.
NOTE: The bell washer should be positioned with the top of the bell shape
towards the hex nut which will create tension and further secure the flange
lock nut once tightened. Do not tighten this hardware at this time.
