on the variable speed torque bracket. Secure with
the flat washer and cotter pin removed in step 10.
13. Push the rear speed control link backward using
light pressure, and hold it in this position as you
thread it into or out of the ferrule until the hole in
the link lines up with the pin on the variable speed
torque bracket.
