NOTE: The curved handlebar height adjustment bracket
appears as shown in Figure 3-2 for non-electric start tillers.
For electric start machines, the bracket is loosened and
moved to one side.
5. Loosely attach the handlebars to the mounting tabs with
two ⁄-16 x 1” screws (heads of screws go to inside of tabs),
⁄” flat washers and ⁄”-16 lock nuts. See Figure 3-3.
6. On electric start machines, reattach the height adjustment
bracket. Tighten both screws securely. Make sure the
handlebar cross-brace is under the bracket.
7. Move the handlebars up or down to align the threaded
hole in the cross brace with one of the four slots in the
curved height adjustment bracket. Place the keyed washer
on the flange head height adjustment screw with the
raised edges of the washer facing down. See Figure 3-2.
8. Thread the height adjustment screw into the hole in the
handlebar cross-brace, making sure that the raised keys
on the washer fit into the slot on the height adjustment
bracket. Tighten the height adjustment screw securely.
Next, securely tighten the two screws and nuts in the ends
of the handlebar.
9. To remove the tiller from its shipping platform, first
carefully unwrap the wheel gear cable with the attached
lever from around the chassis. Move the Wheel Gear Lever
to the DISENGAGE position, this allows the wheels to rotate
freely. See Figure 3-4. Use the handlebars to roll the tiller
off the platform.

NOTE: Use the DISENGAGE position only when the engine
is not running. Before starting the engine, the Wheel Gear
Lever must be placed in the ENGAGE position (see the
Operation Section for details).
