HANDLEBAR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The handlebar can be adjusted to three height positions to
accommodate varying user heights. During normal tilling
operation the actual handlebar position will drop about ten (10)
inches from normal height, therefore keep this in mind when
adjusting the handlebar height position. To change height
position, remove the hardware from the handlebar assembly and
rotate to match the holes at the desired position.
