For machines with Loop Handle models
Fix a barrier to the left side of the machine together with the handle for operator
–
protection.
Make sure that the grip/barrier assembly is fitted between the spacer and the
–
arrow mark.
WARNING: Do not remove or shrink the spacer. The spacer keeps a certain
distance between both hands. Setting the grip/barrier assembly close to
the other grip beyond the length of the spacer may cause loss of control
and serious personal injury.
For machines with U Handle models
Place the handle-fixing metal so that the handle with the control lever will be
–
positioned on the right (the right-hand grip side) as viewed from the engine side,
and the other handle on the left side.
Fit the groove of the handle-fixing material to the handle end. Fix provisionally the
–
attached metal by hexagon socket bolt supplied.
Adjust the handle to an easy-to-operate position, and tighten securely the four
–
hexagon socket bolts uniformly on the right and left by Allen wrench.
Wrap the waist pad around the shaft so that the hanger (1) will protrude through
–
the slit in the waist pad and the control cable and the cords (3) will also be
wrapped under the waist pad (2).
