WARNING: The handle insulators are not only
used to adjust handle height, but are also a
safety device and should never be altered in
any way. If replacement is necessary, use
original equipment parts as shown in the parts
list on page 17.
The upper handle may be adjusted to three
different height positions. To adjust the handle at
the desired position, align one of the three marks
on the top of the lower handle insulators with the
mark on the upper handle insulators. See Figure 4.
Tighten the hand knobs on each side of the handle.
Make sure that carriage bolts are seated properly
into the handle insulators.
