HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
DANGER: RISK OF CUT. To
avoid serious injury, the barrier portion of
the handlebar must be installed as
shown on the upper tube of the power-
head to provide a barrier between op-
erator and the spinning blade. Attach
tube clamp above arrow on safety warn-
ing decal on the upper tube (powerhead
end of unit). Ensure handlebar is posi-
tioned on handlebar clamp between the
arrows on the handlebar decal.
NOTE: The tube clamp base has four
spacer tabs attached, These tabs are
provided to adapt this attachment for
use with powerheads that have a 1" di-
ameter upper tube (the tube clamp will
not tighten down securely on the 1" di-
ameter upper tube without using these
spacer tabs). The tabs must be broken
off completely before use and placed
over the screw holes on the clamp base.
These tabs are not needed for power-
heads with a 7/8" upper tube.
