HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
A DANGER: risk of cut . T o avoid

provide a barrier between operator and
the spinning blade. Attach handlebar
mounting bracket above arrow on
safety warning decal on the upper
shaft (powerhead end of unit).
Ensure handlebar is positioned on
mounting bracket at the end of the ar­
row on the handlebar decal.

cluded with this attachment. Both brack­
ets are provided to adapt this attach­
ment for use with powerheads that have
either a 1" (2.5 cm) diameter or a 7/8"

rect bracket must be used to ensure that

the safety label. Be sure to use
the correct mounting bracket for
either the 1" (2.5 cm) or 7/8” (2.2
