Rope Guide
1. Insert the T-Bar pin into the Bracket as shown in Figure 6.
Note:
It may be necessary to temporarily remove the pre-
assembled cable clip from the upper handle, to get enough
slack in the cable. Reassemble the clip after the pin is
inserted.
2. Secure the cable to the upper handle with the cable clip
(item 8). See Figure 7.
3. Insert the opposite side (left) end of the blade control
lever into the hole in the upper handle. See Figure 5.
Important:
After completing these steps, pull the Blade
Control Lever down against the upper handle. This should
actuate the spring loaded brake lever on the engine. The
Blade Control Lever should spring back to the upper posi-
tion when released.
WARNING
The Blade Control Assembly is required to be able to stop
the engine and brake the blade. Never run the lawn mower
without the Blade Control Assembly correctly assembled.
