WARNING: OVERFILLING OIL CRANKCASE
MAY CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check
and maintain the proper oil level in the crank case; it
is important and cannot be overemphasized. Check
the oil before each use and change it as needed.
See Changing the Oil.
ADJUST THE J-HANDLE
1. Loosen the screws.
2. Slide the J-handle in or out until the arrow/white line on the
decal touches the clamp assembly (Fig. 6). You must first
loosen the screws if the handle is pre-installed.
3. While holding the unit in the operating position (Fig. 18),
position the J-handle to the location that provides you the
best grip.
4. Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the J-handle is secure.
