Attaching Clutch Cables
The clutch control cables are attached to the snow thrower. For shipping purposes, if the cables are attached to the top of the engine with cable ties, cut the cable ties now. The Z ends of the clutch cables are hooked into the clutch grips on each handle.
•Ensure there is a hex jam nut threaded all the way up the threaded portion of the Z fitting; extras are supplied in the hardware pack. See Figure 9 .
•Place the clutch grip in the raised (up) position.

•Swing the left auger cable up making sure the cable is routed correctly in the cable roller guides located at the lower rear of the unit.
•Hold the end of the cable at the barrel so the ferrule turns freely without twisting the cable. Thread the ferrule on to the Z fitting. You may have to pull on the cable slightly to relieve tension. Keep the ferrule turning without twisting the cable.
