Cub Cadet 421R manual Installing Chute Crank, Assembling Discharge Chute

Page 6

Lift the control handle up, and hook the “Z” end of the control cable into the bottom hole in the control handle, from the outside to the inside . If necessary, pull up on the end of the cable with a pair of pliers to obtain slack in order to hook it into the control handle. Hold the “Z” fitting with the pliers, not the cable, to avoid damaging the cable.

NOTE: The upper hole in the control handle provides for adjustment in belt tension. Refer to page 9 of this manual for instructions.
