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.

INSTALL THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment shield

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).
