    INSTALLATION 1) CRUISE MODULE MOUNTING NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE CRUISE MODULE IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: * Under the fender, Under the vehicle, Directly to the engine, With the cable pointed down, Near sharp, hot or moving objects, Near ignition coil [No closer than 255mm (10”)], In the passenger compartment (could hear internal motor operating), Or where it will interfere with service checks.
  • Page 8 MEASURING THROTTLE CABLE TRAVEL (Continued) F. Install the end bead of the BEAD CHAIN in each BEAD CHAIN CONNECTOR with a bead (or beads) between them to add additional length. The beads inside the BEAD CHAIN CONNECTORS do not add length. NOTE: Each bead of the BEAD CHAIN added between the BEAD CHAIN CONNECTORS will give you 7mm (.28”) of slack.
  • Page 9 ATTACHING CRUISE CABLE TO THROTTLE (Continued) B. Pulley Assembly (Dual) Using The T-BAR ADAPTOR 1. Remove air cleaner to expose the dual pulley segments. 2. Find the blank anchor that is located above the throttle anchor. Follow the instructions for anchoring the CRUISE CABLE.
  • Page 10 ATTACHING CRUISE CABLE TO THROTTLE (Continued) E. General Motors™ and Chrysler™ Throttle using THREE BEAD CONNECTOR. 1. Most General Motors™ vehicles and many Chrysler™ vehicles can use the THREE BEAD CONNECTOR to attach the CRUISE CABLE. 2. Attach the BEAD CHAIN to the THREE BEAD CONNECTOR. Secure beads by folding the metal tabs.
  • Page 11 ANCHORING CRUISE CABLE There are three (3) types of connectors used to anchor the CRUISE CABLE: A. SNAP-IN ADAPTOR B. General Motors™ Blank Anchor C. FLAG NUT A. SNAP-IN ADAPTOR 1. To use the SNAP-IN ADAPTOR, it will be necessary to form threads on the end of the CRUISE CABLE.
  • Page 12 ANCHORING CRUISE CABLE (CONTINUED) 4. Insert the CRUISE CABLE through the blank anchor and thread the other LOCKWASHER NUT in place. If you do not use the other LOCKWASHER NUT, install a TUBE CLAMP 152mm-178mm from the anchor point. This will keep the CRUISE CABLE from backing out of the anchor.
