Assembly
Unpacking Instructions
NOTE: Do not severely bend any of the control cables on the
tiller.
1.
The tiller is heavy. Do not attempt to remove it from
the shipping platform until instructed to do so in these
assembly steps.
2. Remove all loose parts from the carton. The hardware bag
is included in your literature packaging.
3. Check that you have the items listed above (contact your
local dealer or the Troy-Bilt Technical Service Department if
any items are missing or damaged).
Handle
NOTE: When disassembling the handlebar assembly, keep the
left-side clamp and ratchet separated from the right-side clamp
and ratchet.
1.
Disassemble the handlebar assembly. To do this, remove
the height adjustment lever by turning the lever in a
counterclockwise direction. See Fig. 3-1.
2. Place the handlebar ends on either side of the base, with
the wire harness toward the rear of the base See Fig. 3-1.
3. Install the height adjustment lever through the right-side
clamp, handlebar end, ratchet, and base; then out through
the left-side ratchet, handlebar end, and clamp. See Fig.3-1.
Secure with the nut, but do not fully tighten.
NOTE: Do not force the height adjustment lever through
the handlebars. The interlock wires may be blocking the
lever and could be damaged. You may gently move the
wires aside if this condition occurs.
4. Raise the handlebars to one of two height settings and
tighten the height adjustment lever. Also, make sure all
other mounting hardware is securely tightened.
