Manual Override Lever Cable - Piper Malibu Meridian PA-46-500TP Airplane Maintenance Manual

C. Adjustment
(1) If a new or used cable has been installed with the cable ends adjusted to pre-removal
measurements (see Removal, above) and no other adjustments were made to the fuel control
unit no further adjustment is required.
(2) If a new or used cable has been installed without cable ends adjusted to pre-removal
measurements, and/or additional adjustments or replacements were made to the fuel control
unit, proceed as follows:
(a) Working at either or both cable ends, as required, adjust cable length so that the FCU cut-
off and idle reset linkage moves stop to stop when the condition lever is moved stop to
stop in the pedestal.
(b) In the cockpit, place the condition lever in the CUTOFF position.
Verify that the engine condition input lever (Figure 1) is against the cutoff stop. If the lever
is not on the stop, adjust control cable clevis rod end to achieve contact with the stop.
(c) In the cockpit, place the condition lever in the RUN position.
Adjust the run stop (Figure 1) at the engine condition input lever so that the lever contacts
the run stop.
(d) In the cockpit, return the condition lever in the CUTOFF position.

(4) In the cockpit:
(a) Remove cotter pin, washer and clevis pin and disconnect cable assembly clevis from
manual override lever assembly.
(b) Slide cable assembly from cable assembly end retaining clip and, working towards the
pressure bulkhead, disconnect the cable from all additional mounting clamps, clips or
brackets.

and washers and three screws and six washers.
