SECTION 3: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
On some units, the J-handle may be pre-installed. In this
case you must loosen screws and adjust the handle to fit
the operator. Go to step 4 if the J-handle is pre-installed.
Install and Adjust the D-handle
1. Remove the screws and bottom clamp piece that
were installed on the D-handle for shipping.
2. Place D-handle the over the shaft housing and onto
the bottom clamp. See Figure 1. Place it a minimum
of 6 inches (15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.
3. Start screws with a large Flat-head or T-25 Torx
screwdriver. Do not tighten until you make the handle
adjustment.
4. If it was pre-installed, loosen the screws on the
D-handle just enough to move the D-handle.
5. While holding the unit in the operating position,
position the D-handle to the location that provides
you the best grip. See Figure 2.
6. Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the D-handle
is secure.

shield on your unit is not installed or if you ever need to

housing above the clamp assembly. See Figure 3.
