SECTION 5: ASSEMBLY
NOTE: All references to right or left side of the snow
thrower are determined from behind the unit in the
operating position.
ATTACHING THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY
(Hardware A)
1. Place right handle in position against the snow
thrower so the flat side of the handle is against
the snow thrower. Secure bottom hole in handle
to snow thrower using 3/4” hex bolt and lock
washer. Do not tighten at this time. See Figure 4.
2. Place handle tab over the upper hole in handle so
the curve in the handle tab matches the curve in
the handle. Secure to the snow thrower using
1-3/4” hex bolt and lock washer. Do not tighten at
this time.
3. Attach the left handle in the same manner. Do not
tighten at this time.
Figure 4
4. Place the handle panel in position between the
handles. To hold the handle panel in place,
depress both controls against the handles. While
continuing to hold the right control, release the left
control (the auger control lock will keep left con-
trol engaged). See Figure 5.
5. Fasten right side of the handle panel by inserting
two carriage bolts through handle and handle
panel (bolts must go through both the plastic and
metal parts of the handle panel). Secure with
cupped washers (cupped side against handle
panel) and hex nuts.
6. Secure the left side of the handle panel in the
same manner.
7. Tighten the four hex bolts used to attach the
bottom of the handles to the snow thrower frame.

ATTACHING THE CONTROL CABLES
(Hardware B)
The “Z” end of the cables are hooked into the con-
trols on each handle. See Figure 6.
1. Thread the hex lock nuts all the way up the
threaded portion of the “Z” ends of the cables.
2. Make certain all cables are in the grooves of the
cable roller guides. The two roller guides are
located in the lower rear of the unit, one on each
side. See Figure 4.
3. Thread the cable onto the threaded portion of the
“Z” end until there is no slack in the cable, but the
cable is NOT tight. Do not overtighten cable.
WARNING: If cable is tightened so
there is tension on the cable with the
clutch grip released, the safety features
of the snow thrower may be overridden.
4. When correct adjustment is reached, tighten the
hex lock nut against the bottom portion of the
cabletolockitinposition.
