Mounting Of Handle - Makita RBC2500 Original Instruction Manual

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 provisionally 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.
– Wrap the waist pad around the shaft so that the hanger (1) will protrude through
the slit in the waist pad and the control cable and the cords (3) will also be
wrapped under the waist pad (2).
For machines with Loop Handle models
– 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.
