INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING 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 (Fig. 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 the D-handle was pre-installed, loosen the screws on the
handle just enough to move it.
5.
While holding the unit in the operating position (Fig. 2),
position the D-handle to the location that provides you the
best grip.
6.
Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the D-handle is
secure.
INSTALL THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment shield
on your unit is not installed.
1.
Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft housing.
Be sure the guard mounting bracket slides into the slot on the
edge of the cutting shield. Rotate the shield into place,
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).
