ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment
shield on your unit is not installed or if you ever need to
re-install it.
1. Slide the cutting attachment shield into the shield
mount on the cutting attachment. Align the screw
holes in the shield with the holes in the cutting
attachment (Fig. 4).
On some units, the J-handle may be pre-installed. In this
case you must loosen screws and adjust the handle to fit
the operator. Go to step 5 if the J-handle is pre-installed.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE J-HANDLE
1. Place the J-handle between the top and middle
clamp pieces (Fig. 1).

only when assembled correctly.
3. Place the clamps and J-handle the over the shaft
housing and onto the bottom clamp.
4. Hold each hex nut in the bottom clamp recess with a
finger. Start screws with a large Phillips screwdriver.
Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.
5. Slide the J-handle in or out until the arrow/white line on
the decal touches the clamp assembly (Fig. 2). You must
first loosen the screws if the handle is pre-installed.
