Installing The Traction Control Linkage; Installing The Wheel Clutch Cable Ends - Toro 38650 Operator's Manual

Installing the Wheel Clutch
Cable Ends
1. Unwrap the
cable ends from
the lower handle.
2. Route either
the left or right
cable end over the
lower handle and
insert the cable
end into the hole in
the corresponding
wheel clutch
lever (A).
3. Remove the
nut and washer
from the handle,
attach the cable
clamp on the cable
(A) to the handle,
and hand tighten
the nut.
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.
5. Squeeze the
lever fully, then
check the gap (A)
between the
bottom of the
A
handle and the
wheel clutch lever
end.
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.
