CONTROL CABLES
The control cable or rod should be arranged at a right angle
to the actuating shift lever with the lever in the neutral
position. The neutral position of the operating lever in the
cockpit must coincide with the neutral position of this lever.
The shift level travel must be such that the lever just strikes
the internal stops for the lever when shifted into forward or
reverse. Those stops can be determined by manually moving
the shift lever with the cable disconnected. This is an
important adjustment for proper engagement of the gear. If
the lever is too short, proper clutch engagement might be
impeded which, in tum, would mean premature wear,
excessive heat generation and clutch plate failure. This would
be indicated by slow clutch engagement or no engagement at
all.
NOTE:
Checkfor proper lever travel and the security of the
cable ta the level bracket at least each season.
MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
Make certain the transmission fluid is changed annually, If
the fluid should become contaminated by water or the gear-
box suffers major mechanical damage, the gearbox must be
thoroughly flushed out and re-filled with fresh fluid to the
correct specifications.
