8 ASSEMBLY
8.1 Folding handle (Fig. 1)
▪ Attach the lower part of the handle section to the body of the machine, using the nuts and
bolts.
▪ The nuts must always point to the outside of the machine.
▪ The upper handles come pre-mounted to the lower part of the handle section.
IMPORTANT: Unfold handle carefully so as not to pinch or damage control cables.
▪ Raise handles until lower handle section locks into place in mowing position. Tighten all
bolts.
▪ Remove protective padding, raise upper handle section into place on lower handle and
tighten both handle knobs.
Caution: Traction and starter cables must always be positioned on top of
the cross bar of the push handle. This provides free movement of the
cables on top of the lower section of the push handle, when the handle is
folded. Incorrect mounting of these cables could lead to damaging and/or
straining them, resulting in a malfunction of the machine. In this case the
guaranty is void.
8.2 Starter handle (Fig. 2)
Move the starter handle from the engine to the rope guide.
