4.=Replacement handlebars for FS 360, 420

All the handlebars listed for the above models in the current spare parts documentation will be supplied only
until existing factory stocks are exhausted.

The new handlebar version 4116 790 1700 will be supplied in place of handlebar 4116 791 2705 (used for
special mowing models). Once handlebars 4116 791 2711 (for sawing models) and 4116 791 2701 (tube for
control handle) have been used up, they will be replaced by versions 4128 790 1715 and 4128 791 2710
respectively to bring them into line with model FS 550.

The new and original replacement handlebars are fully interchangeable. The new versions are exactly the
same shape as the ones they replace (for illustrations see FS 550 parts documentation).
