ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
On some units, the D-handle may be pre-installed,
requiring only loosening screws and some adjustment. If
this is the case, go to step 4.
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 it was pre-installed, loosen the screws on the
D-handle just enough to move the D-handle.
