This section provided general instructions on how to install those
components. Instruction sheet P/N 20485 provides further details
for the handle assembly.

Handle Tube Installation (All Models)

The mounting hardware should be contained in the shipping

the handle tube. On either model, spread the handle bar
ends just enough to engage the teeth on the handle tube.
