STEP 18: (SEE FIGURE 18)

Assemble ball end of control cable up through hole in cable end fi tting and pull until ball slips inside curled edge of fi tting as shown. If ball won't slip under edge of curl it will need to be inserted through open end of curl.

Assemble 1/4" x 1-1/4" hex bolt (B) down through the cable end fi tting, the 5/8" long spacer (S) and the left hand hole in the channel assembly. Secure with a 1/4" nylock nut (I). Tighten.

To attach the blade to the channel assembly, align the notched holes in the pivot plate with the notched holes in the blade. Insert a 1/8" x 1-1/4" cotter pin (W) down through the hole at the bend in the blade pivot shaft.

Spread the ends of the pin. From the left side insert the blade pivot shaft, bend facing up, through the notched holes. Secure the shaft with another 1/8" x

1-1/4" cotter pin (W) through the end hole in the shaft. Spread the ends of the pin.

Remove the plastic cap and one 3/8" hex nut from the bolt in the blade adjust spring. Adjust the remaining 3/8" hex nut down approximately 1" onto the bolt threads. Hook the spring over the spring mount rod as shown. Place the bolt up through the hole in the top edge of the blade and reassemble the other 3/8"
