Adjusting the Handlebar
It is important to find a handlebar height that allows the Mow-Ball
 Support to glide along the
ground and remain balanced so you don’t have having to push down or pull up on the
handlebar.
At the proper height, your hands should rest at a comfortable level and the front end of the
trimmer should roll easily on the Mow-Ball
 Support as shown in Figure 13 on page 20. You
may find you like different handlebar heights for different mowing conditions.
There are two ways to adjust the height of the handlebar outlined in the following steps:
1. Loosen both the adjustment knobs and move the handlebar up or down until the
adjustment is the same on both sides. Use the notches on the adjusters (Figure 4) to
measure how many teeth you’ve moved away from the center. When you’ve found a
comfortable height, tighten the adjustment knobs securely.
2. For additional height adjustment
options, there are two holes in the
upper and lower handlebars where
the adjustment knobs are located.
Most people start with the
handlebars set in the lower holes
of both the upper and lower
handlebar. You can adjust the
height up or down by removing
the adjustment knob assembly and
repositioning the handlebars to a
higher or lower hole. Be sure the
notches in the two adjusters line up
when you reassemble them.
