Push Handles
Height-Adjustable Push
Handles (Fig. 5.34)
These handles are secured with
pins to prevent them from sliding
out uninten tion ally. Opening the
quick-release lever (1) makes
it possible to adjust the push
handles to meet your individual
needs. As you move the lever,
you will hear a locking mecha-
nism; you may now easily
position the push handle as desired. The nut (2) on the tension
lever determines how tightly the push handles are clamp ed into
place. If the nut is loose after adjusting the tension lever, the
push handle will also be too loose. Turn the push handle from
side to side before use to make sure that it is clamped securely
enough into place. After adjusting handle height, always clamp
the tension lever (1) securely into place. If the lever is not
secure, injuries could result when lifting over obstacles.
