Replacing the Control Cable

4.5.1 The control lever operating cable can be seen running across the base
of the fire, below the burner. To release the cable, unscrew the cable
securing screw located in the centre of the aluminium operating arm
and pull the cable out from its fixing hole. Release the other end of the
cable by pushing the cable towards the right i.e. into the operating arm
so as to release the tension. Pull the cable nipple out of the retaining
hole and remove the cable through the slot in the operating arm. See
fig. 21 below.

4.5.2 Hold the hexagonal control lever cable locking bush with a spanner
and unscrew the locking screw using a 2mm allen key to release the
cable from the control lever. The control cable can now be removed
from the cable guide tubes.
4.5.3 To fit the replacement cable, thread the end of the new cable into the
long length of p.t.f.e. sleeve (as supplied) , taking care not to kink the
sleeve. Now carefully feed the sleeve and cable into the left hand cable
guide tube until the ends emerge above the control lever. Now thread
the short length of p.t.f.e. sleeve over the end of the cable and thread
the sleeve and cable into the top of the short cable guide tube.
4.5.4 When the end of the cable emerges from the short cable guide tube,
locate the nipple on the other end of the cable into the locating hole in
the aluminium operating arm. Thread the free end of the cable into the
cable retaining hole on the operating arm, but at this stage do not
tighten the securing screw.
