INSTALL AND ADJUST THE D-HANDLE
1. Push the D-handle down onto the shaft housing and push
it on the boom (Fig. 1). The squared bolt hole in the handle
is to the right.

and push through. On the left side of the handle, place the
washer on the bolt, then screw the wing nut onto the bolt.
Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.
3. Rotate the D-handle to place the grip above the top of the
shaft housing. Place it a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm)
from the end of the shaft grip.
4. While holding the unit in the operating position (Fig. 9), position
the D-handle to the location that provides you the best grip.
5. Tighten the wing nut until the D-handle is secure.

EDGE GUIDE WHEEL
1. Remove the bolt from the edge guide wheel.
2. Push edge guide wheel onto the shaft just above the

required. The depth adjustment nut must be on top.
3. Install the bolt, washer, lock washer and wing nut, in that
order. Tighten securely.
4. Adjust the edging depth by loosening the depth adjustment
nut. Then move the guide wheel along the path shown by the
thick arrow (Fig. 5) until the wheel reaches the desired
position and then tighten securely.
For instructions on how to operate the edge guide wheel, refer
to page 11.
INSTALL THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment shield
on your unit is not installed.

counterclockwise. The holes in the guard mounting bracket
and cutting attachment shield will line up (Fig. 2).
2. From inside the cutting attachment shield, push the square bolt
through the hole until the threaded end protrudes through the
guard mounting bracket (Fig. 3).
