ASSEMBLY
WARNING: If received assembled, re-
peat all steps to ensure your unit is properly as-
sembled and all fasteners are secure.
Examine parts for damage. Do not use dam-
aged parts.
NOTE: If you need assistance or find that parts
are missing or damaged, call 1-800-554-6723.
TOOLS REQUIRED
S Hex wrench (provided)
HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
DANGER: RISK OF CUT. To avoid se-
rious injury, the barrier portion of the handle-
bar must be installed as shown on the upper
tube of the powerhead to provide a barrier be-
tween operator and the spinning blade. Attach
tube clamp above arrow on safety warning de-
cal on the upper tube (powerhead end of unit).
Ensure handlebar is positioned on handlebar
clamp between the arrows on the handlebar
decal.
NOTE: The tube clamp base has four spacer
tabs attached. These tabs are provided to
adapt this attachment for use with power-
heads that have a 1" diameter upper tube (the
tube clamp will not tighten down securely on
the 1" diameter upper tube without using these
spacer tabs). The tabs must be broken off
completely before use and placed over the
screw holes on the clamp base. These tabs
are not needed for powerheads with a 7/8" up-
per tube.
