Assembling Handle
Figure 5
Raise the lower handle in the direction shown in Figure 5 (step 1) till it snaps into place.
Raise the upper handle in the direction shown in Figure 5 (step 2). Tighten the hand knobs which are
already on the handle. See Figure 6A. For convenience in assembly, do not overtighten these knobs as
you will be replacing these later in the assembly.
NOTE: Make sure to route the cables inside the lower handle. Also do not crimp the cables while lifting the
handle up.
For shipping purposes, the hairpin clip is placed in the outer hole of the weld pin on the lower handle.
Remove the hairpin clip from the outer hole of the weld pin.
Using a pair of pliers, insert the hairpin clip into the inner hole in the weld pin. Repeat on other side. See
Figure 6B.
Attach the cables to the lower handle with the two cable ties already on the lower handle. Pull tight the
cable ties and cut off the extra. See Figure 6C below.
Figure 6
Installing Strut
Remove the two plastic hand knobs which secure the upper handle to the lower handle. Discard the hand
knobs.
Place the saddle washers over the carriage bolts on the handle aligning the curved side of the bolts
against the contour of the handle. See Figure 7.
Place struts over the carriage bolts. Secure loosely with lock washers and hex nuts. See Figure 7.
