B. Lower Handle Assembly

To identify part numbers, see page 5 and 17.

1. Use the protective cardboard sleeve to stabilize

your tiller. Stand the motor assembly (#62) up.

(Picture 1)

2. Lay the handle parts within easy reach. You’ll need

one of the handle clamps (#19) and one of the lower

handles (#10). Note that the lower handles have a

short leg on one end.

3. Fit the handle clamp along the outside of the short

leg. Line up the holes on the clamp and the leg.

4. Choose one of the two 3-inch (7.62 cm) bolts

(#20). Slide it through the first set of holes — near

the elbow where the lower handle curves. (Picture 2)

5. Now slide the other lower handle onto the 3-inch (7.62

cm) bolt. Fit the other clamp onto this other handle’s short

leg. Add a nut and tighten finger tight. (Picture 3)

6. Locate the worm gear housing. It starts just

above — and extends down through — the tiller’s

red fender guard. You’ll notice that there’s a

recessed channel on either side of the housing’s top.

(Picture 4.)

7. Take the lower handles that you’ve just put

together. Slide them into the two recessed

channels.(Picture 5.)

Make sure you insert them from the rear of the tiller -

so that the bolt fits along the back of the housing.

8. Slide the second 3-inch bolt through the second set

of holes in the short legs and clamps. Add a nut and

tighten finger tight.

NOTE: THE NUTS ARE SELF LOCKING,

BUT YOU MUST USE A WRENCH TO

TIGHTEN THEM COMPLETELY.
