HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
_lJ DANGER: RISK OF CUT. To avoid
serious injury, the barrier portion of the
handlebar must be installed as shown
on the upper shaft of the powerbead to
provide a barrier between operator and
the spinning blade. Attach handlebar
mounting bracket above arrow on
safety warning decal on the upper
shaft (powerhead end of unit).
Ensure handlebar is positioned on
mounting bracket at the end of the ar-
row on the handlebar decal.

cluded with this attachment. Both brack-
ets are provided to adapt this attach-
ment for use with powerheads that have
either a 1" (2.5 cm) diameter or a 7/8"
(2.2 cm) diameter upper shaft. The cor-
rect bracket must be used to ensure that
the handlebar is mounted securely to
the upper shaft before use.
