ASSEMBLY STEPS
You’ll need the following tools for assembly;
• Two 7/16" wrenches ( a 7/16" socket, exten­
sion, and ratchet can be substituted for one
of the 7/16" wrenches).
• One Medium size Phillips head screwdriver.
1. Unwind the throttle cable from around the en­
gine. Use care when unwinding the cable so it is
not kinked or bent.
2.
Place the engine/tines/transmission assembly
so it is resting on its “face” (the product name
logo decal is face down).
3. Place the lower left handlebar on the left side
of the transmission (below the engine— above
the tine cover). Align the two holes in the lower
handlebar with the two holes in the transmission.

4.
Insert the two (long) hex head bolts and
curved washers through the lower left handlebar,
through the transmission, and out the right side
of the transmission.
5. Place the lower right handlebar over the
threaded ends of the bolts that protrude from the
right side of the transmission .
6. Place a curved washer over the threaded end
of each bolt. Then install a locknut on the
threaded ends of the bolts. Do not tighten yet.
7.
Place the upper handlebars between the
upper ends of the two lower handlebars. From
the outside, slide one of the (short) curved head
carriage bolts through the left handlebar.
8. Place a formed (curved) washer over the
threaded end of this bolt. Install a handlebar
knob on the threaded end of this carriage bolt.
9.
Repeat steps 7 and 8 for the other side.
10.
Evenly tighten the bolts that secure the
Lower Handlebars to the engine. Just snug the
nuts down until they are tight; do not overtighten.

Slip the throttle lever mounting screw down
through the hole in the Engine On/Off Switch
bracket. Then insert the threaded end of the
screw down into the hole that is in front of the
right handlebar grip. Note that the switch and
bracket are to the inside of the right handlebar.
