5.1 Description

5.1.1 General

All cables consist of a cable and a cable
housing. In the cable ends one part, the
cable or the cable casing, is fixed in the
chassis and the other end in the lever
arm. The lever arm is connected to the
control and implement. That is the power
take off, throttle damper, etc.
In most cases, the cables are installed
with an adjuster sleeve and lock nut or
angle joint at one or two ends.
Cable maintenance:
Apply a few drops of oil or use spray
grease in the ends of the cable housings,
two or three times a year.

5.1.2 Cable holders

All cables are mounted on the chassis
with cable holders. When removing or
replacing the cables new cable holders
must be installed in the original posi-
tions.
Loose cables can cause unneces-
sary wear to the components.
This can cause damage to
plastic protection, paint damage,
etc.

5.1.3 Angle joints

In several cases an angle joint was
mounted in the end of the cable. The an-
gle joint has the following two functions:
• To transfer movement to/from the rel-
evant lever arm.
• To adjust the cable. The cable length
is adjusted by screwing the angle
joint on/off the threaded stay on the
cable.
Note When adjusting at least 5
threads must be screwed in.
Changing angle joint (see image be-
low)
1. Loosen nut 3 with an 8 mm spanner.
2. Remove nut 1 with an 8 mm spanner.
Hold the angle screw with a 7 mm
spanner.
3. Unscrew the angle joint from the stay.
4. Reassemble in reverse order.
5. When the assembly is complete, the
cable must be adjusted.
