TO INSTALL HANDLE
The wheels and handle do not provide adequate clearance,
stability, or support for pulling the unit up and down stairs or steps. The unit must
be lifted or pushed up a ramp. Do not lift the unit by the manifold assembly, the
unit could be damaged.
1. To make installation easier, submerge handle grip into warm soapy water.
Remove handle grip from soapy water and slide onto handle.
2. Insert the open end of the handle under the saddle. Before attaching handle,
you may have to pull the open ends of the handle apart so they fit tightly
against the side of the saddle. Looking in from the open end of the saddle,
position the handle toward the two bent tabs, on the inside walls of the
saddle.
3. Slowly push the open ends of the handle onto both tabs at the same time.
Continue pushing the handle into the saddle until the holes on the side of the
saddle and handle are in line.
