Installing The Upper Handle; Connecting The Throttle Cable; Connecting The Wire Harness; Installing The Control Rods - Toro 30177 Operator's Manual

Installing the Upper Handle

1. Align upper handle with upper mounting holes in rear
frame (Fig. 6).
2. Secure each upper mounting hole with a flange bolt
(3/8 x 1 in.) and flange nut (Fig. 6). Torque bolts to
25 ft.–lb. (34 N m).
3. Select high, medium or low position for the lower
mounting hole (Fig. 6). This allows the upper handle
to be adjusted to the user's height preference.
4. Secure each lower mounting hole with a flange bolt
(3/8 x 1 in.) and flange nut (Fig. 6). Torque bolts to
25 ft.–lb. (34 N m).
