WARNING:
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.
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.
NOTE: If the D-handle was pre-installed, loosen the wing
nut on it just enough so it is movable.
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 housing.
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.
