With the forward clutch cable on the inside of the
handlebar, See Fig, 3-2, position the handlebar ends on the
outside of the two mounting tabs shown in Fig. 3-1 on the
transmission top cover.
NOTE:
The curved handlebar height adjustment bracket
appears as shown in Fig. 3-1.
Loosely attach the handlebars to the mounting tabs with
two 3⁄8-16 x 1” screws (heads of screws go to inside of tabs),
3⁄8” flat washers and 3⁄8”-16 lock nuts. See Fig. 3-2.
Tighten both screws securely. Make sure the handlebar
cross-brace is under the bracket.
Move the handlebars up or down to align the threaded
hole in the crossbrace with one of the four slots in the
curved height adjustment bracket. Place the keyed washer
on the flange head height adjustment screw with the
raised edges of the washer facing down. See Fig. 3-1.
Thread the height adjustment screw into the hole in the
handlebar cross-brace, making sure that the raised keys
on the washer fit into the slot on the height adjustment
bracket. Tighten the height adjustment screw securely.
Next, securely tighten the two screws and nuts in the ends
of the handlebar.

To remove the tiller from its shipping platform, first
carefully unwrap the wheel gear cable with the attached
lever from around the chassis. Move the Wheel Gear Lever
to the DISENGAGE position, this allows the wheels to rotate
freely. See Fig. 3-3. Use the handlebars to roll the tiller off
the platform.
NOTE:
Use the DISENGAGE position only when the engine
is not running. Before starting the engine, the Wheel
Gear Lever must be placed in the ENGAGE position (see
Operation Section for details).
Reverse Clutch Control
Carefully unwrap the reverse clutch control cable from its
shipping position and route it up along the inside edge of
the left side handlebar. See Fig. 3-4. A knob and large hex
nut is installed on the cable.
