How to assemble upper
handles and carrying
handle
1. Lightly squeeze the lower
handles (no. 6) toward one
another so that they line up with
the two smaller holes on the
carrying handle (no. 42). Then
slide the carrying handle over and
down the lower handles. It will
rest about 10 to 15 cm above the
fender. (Picture 1)
2. Gently pull the lower
handles out to their original
position.
3. Attach the upper handle
assembly (no. 1) – the handle with
the throttle cable and ground wire
– onto the right lower handle, and
secure with the handle knob (no.
53). (Picture 2 and 3)
Note: If throttle handle is
mounted on the left, it will not
fold down as completely as when
mounted on the right.) Be sure
you have proper throttle
movements and that the throttle
cable is not wrapped or twisted
around the handle bar. Squeeze
trigger and let go.
THIS MUST BE DONE
BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE.
4. Follow the same steps to
install the other upper handle
onto the other lower handle.

5. Use the clip (no. 13) to
secure the throttle cable and wire
in place on the lower handle.
(Picture 4)
6. Now install the handle
brace. Line it up with the holes
on the upper handles. Then insert
a cap screw and a lock nut on
either side (Picture 5)
7. Use a spanner/wrench to
tighten cap screws and lock nuts.
8. Now use spanner/wrench to
tighten all nuts and bolts firmly
and securely.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure you have installed
the handles properly. When
you stand behind your tiller,
holding the handles, the fuel
tank is facing away from you,
on the front side of the engine.
