Handle Assembly
Connect the bottom and top section of the handle using (4) each 5/16" bolts, washers
and nylock nuts. Tighten using the two (2) 1/2" wrenches.
Note: The extension forks of the top section should be mounted to the outside of the
bottom handle section. The bolts should go through the handle to the inside and the
washers and nuts go on the inside of the handle.
Clutch Rod Assembly
Remove the shipping plastic and fully thread the coupling nut attached to the
top section of the clutch rod onto the bottom section and tighten jam nuts.
Secure the clutch rod to the clutch lever on the handle with the supplied cotter
pin.
Roller-Lift Straps
The roller-lift straps are connected to the roller-lift lever on the top section of the handle.
Attach the roller-lift straps to the roller-lift toggle using a 1/4" X 1" bolt and nylock nut. The
roller-lift straps should straddle (one on each side of) the roller-lift toggle. Tighten using
the two (2) 7/16" wrenches.
Throttle Cable Assembly
Just below the hand grip on the right-hand side, using the flat-
blade screw driver and 3/8" wrench, remove the two (2) nuts from
their screws. Attach the throttle control lever to the top handle
piece with the two (2) screws and nuts, and tighten. Use the
provided spring clip to secure throttle cable to the handle.
