Handle
Remove any packaging material from the upper handle.
Remove the lower plastic wing nut, belleville washer
and carriage bolt from each side of the upper handle;
then raise the upper handle assembly until it snaps over
the lower handle. See Figure 3-1.
Looking beneath the handle panel, check that all of the
cables (steering, auger, shift, and drive) are properly
routed and not pinched or kinked. Make certain the
springs at the lower end of the auger and drive cables are
securely hooked into their respective actuator bracket.
