Setting Up Your String Trimmer Mower
• Loosen each wing nut enough to separate the
plastic connectors between the upper and lower
handle. Gently lift up and pull back on the upper
handle to raise the handle toward the operating
position. See Figure 2.
• Separate the connectors and position the bottom
tip of upper handle connector in front of the bottom
tip of lower handle connector. To secure the upper
and lower handle, tighten the wing nuts and
washers (carriage bolts must be seated properly
into the handle and grooves must line up between
connectors).
Figure 2
NOTE: If you wish to adjust the height of the upper
handle, refer to the Adjustment Section.
• Loosen the wing nut that secures rope guide to
handle. With the spark plug wire disconnected and
grounded, pull the starter rope out of the engine.
Slip the starter rope into the rope guide and tighten
the wing nut. See Figure 3.
• Tighten the cable tie on lower left side of handle,
making sure the round tab on tie seats nicely into
the hole in handle.
