Toro 38272, 38282 manual Adjusting the Control Cable

Note: Ensure that a gap of 1/16 to 1/8 inch (2 to Product Overview 3 mm) exists between the control bar and the handle

(Figure 8).

Important: The control cable must contain some slack when you disengage the control bar for the rotor blades to stop properly.

Adjusting the Control Cable

1. Slide up the spring cover and unhook the spring from the adjuster link (Figure 9).

2.	Z-fitting	4.	Unhook the spring here.

Note: You can pull up the adjuster link and cable to make unhooking the spring easier.

2.Move the Z-fitting to a higher or lower hole on the adjuster link as needed to obtain the 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch (2 mm to 3 mm) gap between the control bar and the handle (Figure 9).

Note: Moving the Z-fitting higher decreases the gap between the control bar and the handle; moving it lower increases the gap.

3.Hook the spring to the adjuster link and slide the spring cover over the adjuster link.

4.Check the adjustment; refer to Checking the Control Cable.

Note: The belt may slip (squeal) in wet conditions; to dry out the drive system, start the rotor and run it without a load for 30 seconds.
