2) Shift the handle to the left and adjust the right turnbuckle in the
same manner.
ATTENTION!
When shifting, the leading end of the handle must be raised first. If the trailing
end of the handle is lifted first, the handle will lock up and not shift. Also, you
want to make sure that the turnbuckles are not adjusted so tightly as to not
allow the boxes to drop to their full down position. Once properly adjusted,
tighten the lock nut of each turnbuckle to keep them from moving.
You can now go to page 97 to assemble the bench.

Attach the drop boxes to the shift handle
There is a long, dark, wooden handle at the top and center of the beater top.
This is the shift handle. By moving this handle laterally, you will be able to
shift from one shuttle box to another, but first you will have to attach the
handle to each set of drop boxes.
Give yourself slack in the cable
Note:
This will hold the box in the upper position and both of your hands will be free
to adjust the cable.
1) To give yourself some slack in the cable, it may be helpful to raise
the drop box on the side you are working on to its uppermost
position.
2) To hold it in this position, you can insert one of your shuttles
halfway into the box that is now aligned with the shuttle race.
