components. Instruction sheet P/N 20485 provides further details
for the handle assembly.

Throttle Cable Installation
1. Uncoil the throttle cable and housing.
2. Feed the throttle cable through the cable housing.
3. Connect the throttle cable to the engine. (Figure 7), HONDA
and (Figure 8), ROBIN. There should be a piece of wire
installed on the trowel to show where to route the throttle
cable. Route cable end (item 2) through the spring (item 4)
and swivel stop (item 6). When connecting the cable housing,
make sure that no more than 1/4" (6.4mm) of the cable
housing (item 5) protrudes past the housing clamp (item 7)
on the engine.
Considerable force may be
required when moving the Quick-
Pitch ™ T-handle forward or
backward.
