STEP 14: (SEE FIGURE 14)

Place the two angle lock bars together so that all holes are aligned. Assemble a 3/8" x 1-1/4" carriage bolt (G) and a 3/8" nylock nut (K) in the top hole. Be sure to insert bolt from side indicated. Finger tighten only. Insert the round hook end of the angle lock spring up through the hole in bracket (A).

Hold the angle lock bars so that the square holes are at the top. Insert the straight hook end of the angle lock spring through the middle hole in both angle lock bars as shown.

Insert the angle lock bars down through the slot in the channel. Under the channel, place a 1" long spacer (T) on each side of the angle lock bars and insert a 1/4" x 3-1/4" bolt (A) through the channel, the angle lock bars and the spacers. Secure the bolt with a 1/4" nylock nut

(I). Tighten so that lock bars can pivot freely.

At this time tighten the 3/8" carriage bolt and nylon lock nut previously assembled to angle lock bars.

NOTE: When the angle lock bars are pulled back, the pivot plate should unlock and be free to pivot.

STEP 16: (SEE FIGURE 16)

Assemble a 3/8" x 1-1/4" carriage bolt (G) through the square hole in the cable mount bracket and through the square hole in the angle lock bars as shown. (The carriage bolts should face in opposite directions.) Using pliers hold the cable mount bracket in position, angling down towards the L.H. hole in the channel as shown. Secure with a 3/8" nylock nut (K). Tighten. Refer also to fi gure 17 for the correct angle for the cable mount bracket.

Assemble one 5/16" jam nut (M) approximately 3/4" onto the threaded end of the control cable. Assemble the threaded cable end through the round hole in the cable mount bracket as shown and secure with another 5/16" jam nut (M). Tighten

NOTE: Some adjustment of jam nuts may be required after blade assembly is completed.
