On some units, the J-handle may be pre-installed, requiring
only screw loosening and J-handle adjustment tailored to the
operator. Go to step 6 to adjust the J-handle if it is pre-installed.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE J-HANDLE
Installing
1. Remove the screws, nuts, and top and middle clamp
pieces that were installed on the J-handle for
shipping.
2. Place the J-handle between the top and middle
clamp pieces, Figure 1.

While holding the three pieces together, install the four (4)
screws through the top clamp and into middle clamp.
NOTE: The holes in the top and middle clamp will line
up only when assembled correctly.
4. Place the clamps and the J-handle over the shaft
housing and onto the bottom clamp.
5. Hold each hex nut in the bottom clamp recess with a
finger. Start screws with a large Phillips screwdriver.
Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.
Adjusting
6. Loosen the screws so that the J-handle can be
easily moved in the clamp assembly. Do not remove
the screws or nuts.
7. Slide the J-handle in or out until the arrow/white line on
the decal touches the clamp assembly, Figure 2.
8. While holding the unit in the operating position,
position the J-handle to the location that provides
you the best grip, Figure 3.
9. Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the J-handle
is secure.
