On some units, the D-handle may be preinstalled. In this
case you must loosen hardware and adjust the D-handle
to fit the operator. Go to step 4 if the D-handle is
preinstalled.
INSTALL AND ADJUST THE D-HANDLE
1. Remove the screws and bottom clamp piece that
were installed on the D-handle for shipping.
2. Place D-handle the over the shaft housing and onto
the bottom clamp (Fig. 1). Place it a minimum of 6
inches (15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.
3. Start screws with a large Flat-head or T-25 Torx
screwdriver. Do not tighten until you make the
handle adjustment.
4. If the D-handle was preinstalled, loosen the screws
on it just enough so the handle freely moves.
