Control Cable Adjustment - Allied Systems W8L Operating Manual

Control Cable Adjustment

Check the operation of the power control lever to make
sure it moves smoothly and will return to the BRAKE-ON
position. The power control lever will stay in BRAKE-OFF
when pushed into DETENT position. Make sure the
control lever does not hit the housing at the end of
its travel.
See Figure 16. Make sure the positions of the power
control lever are the same as the position indicators
on the decal. Remove the access cover (Item 1) on the
housing to make adjustments. Loosen the jam nut (Item
8) that keeps the tall nut (Item 3) from turning. Remove
the cotter pin and link pin (Item 5) from the clevis (Item
2). Turn the tall nut and clevis to adjust the length of the
control cable (Item 5). Use the link pin and cotter pin to
connect the clevis to the control handle again and check
the operation. When the adjustment is complete, install
the access cover.
