3. Move the handle to the operating position.
4. Attach the handle braces to the lower handle sides
with 2 oval-head bolts and secure them finger tight
using 2 locknuts (Figure 3).
Important:
Ensure that the bolt heads are to
the
inside
of the handle.
5. Align the oval bolt heads with the handle as shown
in Figure 3; then secure the handle as follows:
•
If the holes in the handle are round, align the
oval bolt heads with the handle as shown in
Figure 3; then, holding the heads in that position,
tighten each nut with a wrench to pull the square
shank into the handle until the bolt heads are
tight against the handle.
Note:
The square shank of the bolts will not
readily fit into the round holes.
•
If the holes in the handle are square, align the
oval head bolt heads with the handle as shown in
Figure 3, insert the square shank into the handle
so that the bolt heads are tight against the handle,
and then tighten the locknuts (Figure 3).
6. Tighten the rest of the fasteners on the handle and
handle braces.
7. Use the cable tie provided to secure the control
cable(s) to the handle.
Note:
Attach the cable tie as low as possible on the
handle to prevent the cable(s) from hooking onto
the end cap on the rear door rod and interfering with
the self-propel system (Figure 3).
