Assembly
Assembling bottom handle part (fig. M1)
Insert securing screw (A) from inside through the left side element, so that both projections catch in the recesses (1). Position
insulation element (B) from outside; the two nubs must catch in the holes of the side element (2). Position handle element (M) in
the insulating element (B). Place insulating element (C) so that the large opening points to the outside. Then press washer (D) into
the opening of the insulating element (C) and tighten wing nut (G).
Assemble the right handle element in the same order.
Assembling top of handle (fig. M2)
Attaching switch, strain relief and clips (fig. M3)
Fold up switch bracket (1) and position switch (H) on the upper handle element so that the two nubs catch in the holes (2). Close
switch bracket (1) and insert cable strain relief (I). Then fasten switch (H) and cable strain relief (I) with the two screws (K). Fasten
switch cable (3) with the clips (L) on the handle rod.
Attaching protective flap (fig. M4)
Place protective flap (O) on the cover (1). Then press retainer slots (2) into the fastening flaps (3) on the cover (1).
