At the back of the truck there are two
upstanding sockets to receive the bent loop handle (fig.1D).
Partially unscrew the two locking bolts that pass into the
sockets so that they no longer protrude into the sockets.
Drop the ends of the bent chrome handle into the sockets
and tighten the bolts until the handle is held firmly.

bush (fig.2B) from the free end of the cable and feed the end
of the cable and cable sheath through the cable guide tubes
welded to the handle and the underside of the frame. see
fig.1G and fig.2A. once the cable has been fed through the
guides slide the bush back over the cable and onto the sheath.
feed the cable through the hole in the bush retaining bracket
and then through the hole in the clamping bolt on the actuating
lever (fig.2c). now screw the guide bush into the bracket
(see fig.2B). Pull the end of the cable so that there is no
