Attaching Turn Triggers

Make sure that the right hand trigger cable is routed in front of the traction drive cable.

Feed the trigger cable up through the outer side of the slot in the handle panel. Do not feed the cable through the same side of the slot as the Z fitting.

Place the cable barrel fitting into the hole in the trigger. You can find the triggers and associated hardware in group H of the hardware pack (on page 5). Pull on the cable and rotate it around the bottom of the trigger, with the inner cable in the slot, until the cable end can be pushed into the trigger housing and snapped tight. See Figure 12.

Note: When the cable is installed correctly, it should not be possible to pull cable out of the trigger housing.

Place the right turn trigger in position underneath the right handle. Secure with screw and weld nut from group H of the hardware pack. See Figure 13. You will need a phillips screwdriver for tightening the screw. Repeat on left side.

Secure the left turn trigger cable to the lower handle using the other cable tie. Make sure to route the cable tie below the auger drive cable so that when the trigger cable is secured by the cable tie, the auger drive cable is left outside the cable tie.Trim excess ends from each cable tie.

NOTE: The right side cable tie must be used to keep cable from coming in contact with the moving shift arm from the transmission.

Lamp Wiring

Wrap the wire from the lamp down the right handle. Plug wire into the alternator lead wire under the fuel tank. See Figure 15.
