Installing The Handlebar
1. Position the mounting brackets by rotating them until
the foot on the bracket rests against the engine. See
Figure 4.
2. Place the handlebar between the bottom and
middle clamp pieces. See Figure 5.
3. While holding the three pieces together, position the
handlebar underneath the shaft tube and align with
the top clamp.
NOTE: The holes in the clamp assembly will line up only
when assembled correctly.
4. One at a time, hold a hex nut in the bottom clamp
recess with a finger and install a screw through the
clamp assembly. Start screw with a large Phillips
screwdriver. Repeat this process with the other three
(3) nuts and screws. Do not tighten until you make
the handle adjustment.
5. Position the two (2) handlebar clamps near the top of
the handlebar, with one clamp positioned on each
side. Swing the handlebar up until it sets to the
outside of the two mounting brackets on the engine.
See Figure 6.
NOTE: Positioning the handlebar onto the mounting
brackets may require you to slightly spread the
handlebar.
6. Slide the two (2) handlebar clamps down over the
mounting brackets. See Figure 7.
NOTE: It may be required to loosen or remove the
thumb screws on the handlebar clamps to
spread them to fit over the mounting brackets.
7. Center the handlebar and tighten the two (2)
mounting bracket clamps and the four (4)
handlebar clamp screws evenly until the
handlebar is secure. See Figures 7 and 8.
