• Cap the exposed bolt with an acorn
nut (T13) and tighten with your 7/16"
wrench until snug. Do not over tighten.

• Now install the handle brace. Line it up with the holes
on the upper handles. Then insert a cap screw (T15)
and a lock nut (T14) on either side.
• Use a wrench to tighten cap screws and lock nuts.
• Now use wrench to tighten all nuts and bolts firmly and
securely.
Make sure you have installed the handles properly.
When you stand behind your tiller, holding the handles,
the fender warning label should face you.
Be sure you have proper throttle movements and that
the throttle cable is not wrapped or twisted around the
handle bar. Hold down the lockout lever, fully squeeze
the throttle trigger and let go. The throttle triangle must
click in both directions. If there is any doubt, remove
air filter and visually check that the throttle triangle hits
both the idle screw and the full open stop. THIS MUST
BE DONE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
