Step 4: Connect Handbrake Cord
Take the cord that is attached to the hook and bring it to the front of the tiller. Pull the handbrake towards you and insert the round metal piece into the opening. String the small silver cord through the solid piece of the handbrake. Make sure the metal piece on the red cord is pushed fully into the handbrake.
Step 5: Reattach Hook
Grab the red cord and hook and bring it back behind the tiller and reattach the hook to the back of the tiller using the screws and an Allen wrench. The red cord should go around the tiller.
