Adjusting Control Bar

Periodically check control bar for proper adjustment.

2. CHECK ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 5)—Move
control bar back toward handle until slack in
cable is removed. Gap between control bar
bracket and handle should be approximately
1/16"–1/8". If cable is too loose or too tight,
proceed to step 3 for adjustment procedure.
Note: The control cable must always have
slack in it when in the disengaged
position.
3. Unhook spring end from the top hole in control
bar bracket (Fig. 5).
4. Slide spring cover off spring and cable adjuster.
5. Unhook Z fitting from cable adjuster and
reposition Z fitting in a higher or lower hole on
adjuster to obtain proper gap of 1/16"–1/8"
between control bar bracket and handle (Fig. 4).
(Positioning cable end in a lower hole decreases
gap; positioning cable end in a higher hole
increases gap.)
