ASSEMBLE THE HANDLE SECTIONS
CAUTION
Always keep the battery cover locked. Failure
to do so may allow batteries to fall out,
causing damage to batteries, cables, and
electric circuits.
1. Set the cutting height to the highest setting as shown below. This
will make it easier to attach the lower handle section.
a. Loosen the two large black knobs [Part # 9], one on each side
of the mower body, to allow movement of the height
adjustment arms [Part # 11]. NOTE: the handle is mounted to
the adjusting arms and thus moves with the arms.
Owner’s Manual — Sunlawn EM-2
b. Set the height to the highest setting and re-tighten the black
knobs.
2. Fit the lower section of the handle [Part # 4] so that the holes are
over the handle posts on the mower. [See Insert B] Then rock the
handle to align the locking tabs and allow the handle section to fit into
place. Place the spacer [Part # 7] over the post and put the cotter pin
(Part # 8] through the hole to secure the handle.
