Installing The Traction Control Linkage - Toro Power Max 1028LXE Operator's Manual

Important: Ensure that the curved side of the
cable clamp is against the handle and that the
cable is routed below the clamp bolt. The cable
must be in a straight line from the cable clamp
to the point where it attaches to the wheel clutch
lever.
4. Pull the cable jacket down gently until the wheel
clutch lever is down and the slack is out of the cable,
then tighten the cable clamp nut securely (Figure 8).
5. Squeeze the lever fully, then check the gap between
the bottom of the handle and the wheel clutch lever
end (Figure 9).
Note: The gap should be approximately the
thickness of a pencil (1/4 inch or 6 mm). If it is
greater, loosen the cable clamp nut, slide the cable
jacket up slightly, tighten the cable clamp nut, and
check the gap again.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the other cable.
