using both sets of handles

Hi guys. My Fusion came last week, and got her all set up... was a little disappointed that HQ never returned any of my phonecalls asking for help. (Thank goodness I have a very patient and handy husband). Anyway, got my microhandles today and installed them easily. My question is this, do those of you who have the micros keep them on all of the time? I would really like to be able to move back and forth between the two sets of handles, but feel that the micros might impede my line of vision when using the 'big' handles. Also, are the 'big' handles adjustable in any fashion, as I can't rotate my micros up and over because the 'big' handles get in the way. Anybody have any input? Thanks much....

Answer:

You can take the micro handles off very easily. Loosen the big knob in the front and they will just slide off the bracket. You will also need to unplug them from the machine. They are just as easy to put back on. Unfortunately, the regular handles do not have any adjustments, but taking off the micro handles is a very easy solution.
