ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment
shield on your unit is not installed.
1. Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft
housing. Be sure the guard mounting bracket slides
into the slot on the edge of the cutting shield. Rotate
the shield into place, counterclockwise. The holes in
the guard mounting bracket and cutting attachment
shield will line up (Fig. 3).
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. 4).

INSTALL AND ADJUST THE D-HANDLE
1. Push the D-handle down onto the shaft housing so
that the handle slants towards the shaft grip (Fig. 1).
The squared bolt hole in the handle is to the right.
2. Insert the shoulder bolt into the squared hole in the
handle 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. 2), position the D-handle to the location that
provides you the best grip.
5. Tighten the wing nut until the D-handle is secure.
