ASSEMBLING THE HANDLE (FIGURE 2A)
1. Your mower carton contains the mower, 2 handles, discharge chute and
1 plastic parts bag.
2. Fasten the upper and lower handle halves together using the eye bolts
(already installed on the power and flip cords) and the fastening knobs
from the plastic bag.
Make sure the power cord and switch are on
the same side of the mower as the discharge area and that the flip
locking mechanism is on the opposite side
. There are three holes on
the upper handle, this allows the handle height to be set in three
positions. Choose the hole that best suits your overall height. Install the
eye bolts to the outside of the handles so that the knobs are on the
inside. Tighten the knobs securely.
