Adjusting the Control Cable

Checking the Control Cable

cable and adjust it if necessary.

necessary.
Move the control bar back toward the handle to remove the
slack in the control cable (Figure 24).
1. Control bar
Note: Ensure that a 2 mm to 3 mm (1/16-inch to 1/8-inch)
gap exists between the control bar and the handle (Figure 24).
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 25).

mm to 3 mm) gap
1. Adjuster link
2. Z-fitting
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 25).
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 (page 12).
Note: After extended use, the drive belt may wear
and lose its proper belt tension. If the drive belt slips
(continuously squeals) under a heavy load, disconnect
the spring from the adjustor link and move the upper
end of the spring to the hole that is further from
the pivot point in the control bar (Figure 26). Then
connect the spring to the adjustor link and adjust the
control cable.
