ASSEMBLING THE HANDLEBARS
Before you can operate the unit, you must adjust the
handlebars.
1. When you unpack the unit, loosen the two knobs on
the inside of the handlebars (Fig. 1).
2. With the unit upright, swing the handlebars up into
the operating position.
NOTE: Take care not to pinch the switch wires when
positioning the handlebars.
3. Tighten the knobs to secure the handlebars in place.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the knobs.

USING THE CORD RETAINER
There is an extension cord retainer to prevent the
extension cord from disconnecting during use. The
retainer hangs from the cord guide bar.
NOTE: Do not plug the extension cord into the power
source receptacle until the cord is connected to
the cord retainer and plugged into the unit.
To use the cord retainer:
1. Fold the extension cord in half, forming a tight loop
near the receptacle.
2. Push the loop through the bottom hole in the retainer
(Fig. 2).
3. Slide the loop over the retaining clip and pull down
until the cord fits snugly (Fig. 2).

NOTE: Use a UL-approved extension cord. A 100-foot,
14-gauge cord is recommended. A 50-foot, 16-
gauge cord is acceptable.
Both the cord retainer and guide bar restrain the
extension cord and keep it out of the way at all times,
safely to the side of the operator.
The extension cord and retainer will slide on the guide
bar as the unit is moved to the left and right. Connect
your extension cord to the unit as shown in Figure 3.
