ATTACHING THE CONTROL CABLES (Hardware B)
The “Z” end of the cables are hooked into the con- trols on each handle. See Figure 6.
1.Thread the hex lock nuts all the way up the threaded portion of the “Z” ends of the cables.
2.Make certain all cables are in the grooves of the cable roller guides. The two roller guides are located in the lower rear of the unit, one on each side. See Figure 4.
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.
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.
4.When correct adjustment is reached, tighten the hex lock nut against the bottom portion of the cable to lock it in position.
