2.Extend Cable Assembly (36) to its full length.
Note how the existing cable is connected to the inside of the drum.
3.Remove old Cable Assembly and attach new one.
Caution: Do not replace with inferior cable. Always use the approved replace- ment part from Harbor Freight Tools.
4.Retract Cable Assembly onto cable drum being careful not to allow kinking.
