MOUNTING OF HANDLE
CAUTION: Before doing any work on the brush cutter, always stop the
engine and pull the spark plug connector off the spark plug.
Always wear protective gloves!
CAUTION: Start the brush cutter only after having assembled it completely.
For machines with U Handle models
–Place the handle-fixing metal so that the handle with the control lever will be
positioned on the right (the right-hand grip side) as viewed from the engine
side, and the other handle on the left side.
– Fit the groove of the handle-fixing material to the handle end. Fix provision-
ally the attached metal by hexagon socket bolt supplied.
– Adjust the handle to an easy-to-operate position, and tighten securely the
four hexagon socket bolts uniformly on the right and left by Allen wrench.
For machines with E Handle models
–Temporarily assemble four M5 x 25 socket head bolts (1) on the handle joint
(2) so that the handle (3) with a control lever will come to your right hand
side.
– Adjust the handle to an easy-to handle position and tighten the socket head
bolts (1) with even pressure applied on all of them.
– Fit the control cable (together with the earth cord) to the handle with two
clips (4) and hanger.
– Avoid any tendency of the control cable to loop at the handle bar.
For machines with Loop Handle
– Fix a barrier to the left side of the machine together with the handle for
operator protection.
– Make sure that the grip/barrier assembly is fitted between the spacer and
the arrow mark.
WARNING: Do not remove or shrink the spacer. The spacer keeps a certain
distance between both hands. Setting the grip/barrier assembly
close to the other grip beyond the length of the spacer may cause
loss of control and serious personal injury.
ADJUSTMENT OF CONTROL CABLE
Make adjustment so that the control cable will be provided with a play of 1 to 2
mm, when the throttle lever is set to low speed by carburetor adjusting bolt.
(the blde or the nylon cutting head must not turn when the engine is on idle)
