On some units, the J-handle may be preinstalled and
only require loosening the screws and adjusting the 
J-handle to the operator. Go to step 6 for adjusting the
J-handle if preinstalled.

Installing
1. Remove the screws, nuts, top and middle clamp

pieces that were installed on the J-handle for ship-
ping.

2. Place the J-handle between the top and middle

clamp pieces (Fig. 3-1).

3. While holding the three pieces together, install the

four (4) screws through the top clamp and into 
middle clamp.

4. Place the clamps and J-handle the over the shaft

housing and onto the bottom clamp.

5. Hold each hex nut in the bottom clamp recess with

a finger. Start screws with a large Phillips screw-
driver. Do not tighten until you make the handle
adjustment.

Adjusting
6. Loosen the screws so that the J-handle can be

easily moved in the clamp assembly. Do not
remove the screws or nuts.

7. Slide the J-handle in or out until the arrow/white

line on the decal touches the clamp assembly 
(Fig. 3-2). 

8. While holding the unit in the operating position 

(Fig. 3-3), position the J-handle to the location 
that provides you the best grip.

9. Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the J-handle

is secure.
