16.  Place the lift handle through the slot in the tray. Fasten 

the lift handle to the smaller, inner hole in the middle 
wheel  bracket  using  the  bolt  and  nut  which  you  pre-

assembled earlier (figure 2). Fasten the lift handle to 

the larger, outer hole in the wheel bracket using a 3/8" 
x 1-1/4" hex bolt, the shoulder spacer, and a 3/8" nylock 
nut. 

Tighten both nylock nuts.

 See figure 11.

18.  Perform the following steps in sequence to assure secure 

locking of the lift handle. Refer to figure 12.

 
 

a.  Turn the aerator upright, then place the lift handle 

into the transport locking notch at the front end of 
the slot in the tray. 

 

b.  Stand  on  the  right  side  of  the  aerator  and  push 

against the tray, which will force the lift handle over 
to the right side of the notch.

 

c.  Keep the tray and lift handle in this alignment and 

tighten

 the eight bolts at the corners of the tray.

 

d. 

Tighten

 the two bolts which fasten the middle brace 

to the tray.

 

e.  After  performing  these  steps,  some  effort  should 

be required to shift the lift handle from the transport 
locking notch over into the slot to lower the aerator. 
When  the  aerator  is  raised,  the  lift  handle  should 
spring back over into the transport locking notch.
