1. UPPER HANDLE (item 41). Assemble securely to lower handle stubs (item 37) and handle brace (item 36), using screws (item 120 & 121), so that screw heads are on inside of handle. Otherwise, premature bag wear could result.

Using screw (item 113), washer (item 143) and lock nut (item 131), connect one end of rod (item 47) to nozzle door mounting. (See Figure 5). Using rod, pull nozzle door open horizontal to ground and hold opposite end of rod next to mounting hole on remote lever (item 48), already assembled onto upper handle. (See Figure 1). If necessary, adjust rod length using threads provided on rod. Adjust rod length to give a minimum of 1.0" (25.4 mm) hand clearance between lever & maximum forward throttle position when door is open. Assemble upper end of rod to lever on handle using same hardware item numbers as shown above. (See figure 1& 2). Tighten jam nuts.
