ASSEMBLY
_WARNING: If received assembled,
repeat all steps to ensure your unit is
properly assembled and all fasteners
are secure,
* A hex wrench (provided) is required
for assembly.
HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
DANGER: RISK OF CUT. To
avoid serious injury, the barrier portion
of the handlebar must be installed as
shown on the upper tube of the power-
head to provide a barrier between op-
erator and the spinning blade. Attach
tube clamp above arrow on safety
warning decal on the upper tube (pow-
erhead end of unit). Ensure handlebar
is positioned on handlebar clamp be-
tween the arrows on the handlebar de-
cal.
NOTE: The tube clamp base has four
spacer tabs attached. These tabs are
provided to adapt this attachment for
use with powerheads that have a 1"
diameter upper tube (the tube clamp
will not tighten down securely on the 1"
diameter upper tube without using
these spacer tabs). The tabs must be
broken off completely before use and
placed over the screw holes on the
clamp base. These tabs are not need-
ed for powerheads with a 7/8" upper
tube.
