1. Control bar
Note: Ensure that a gap of 1/16 to 1/8 inch (2 to
3 mm) exists between the control bar and the handle
(Figure 10).
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 11).

4. Unhook the spring here.
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 11).
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.
Note: The belt may slip (squeal) in wet conditions;
to dry out the drive system, start the rotor and run
it without a load for 30 seconds.
