7. Install the new blade brake cable, cable clamp, and the
cable clamp screw to the engine (Fig. 14).
Adjusting the Blade Brake Cable
1. Check the brake cable adjustment by moving the
control bar toward the handle until there is no slack in
the wire (Figs. 15 and 16).
Note: Ensure that the gap between the brake lever and the
