STEP 5: (SEE FIGURE 19)

Assemble one 5/16" jam nut (I) approximately 3/4" onto threaded end of control cable that has no rubber cap or preassembled nuts. Assemble threaded cable end through round hole in cable mount bracket and secure with another 5/16" jam nut (I). Tighten.

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

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 (P) 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 top of blade, through the notched holes. Secure the shaft with another 1/8" x 1-1/4" cotter pin (P) 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. Place the bolt up through the hole in the top edge of the blade and reassemble the other 3/8" hex nut to the bolt and tighten down against the top edge of the blade. Replace the plastic cap over the end of the bolt threads.

cable end fitting, the 5/8" long spacer (T) and the left

hand hole in the channel assembly. Secure with a

1/4" nylock nut (J). Tighten.

NOTE: Make sure the cable mount bracket is aligned with the cable end fitting to prevent binding of cable. The other end of the control cable will be attached in a later step.
