ATTACHING CLUTCH CABLES

2.Make certain all cables are in the grooves of the cable roller guides. The roller guides are located in the lower rear of the unit. Lift the clutch grip in the raised (up) position.

3.Thread the cable onto the threaded portion of the “Z” end until there is no slack in the cable, but the cable is NOT tight. Do not overtighten cable. See Figure 13.

WARNING: If cable is tightened so there is tension on the cable with the clutch grip released, the safety features of the snow thrower may be overridden.
