Attaching Clutch Control Cable(s)
Forward Cable
Attach the end of the forward cable to the bracket
underneath the handle assembly as follows. (On model
390, the forward clutch cable is the cable which is
attached closer to the rear of the tiller).
•
Loosen the hex nut on the threaded rod near the
end of the cable, and move it up the rod as far as it
will go.
•
Unthread the rod from the rest of the cable. Hook
the “Z” end of the rod into the bracket underneath
the handle assembly from the right hand side. See
Figure 4.
•
Thread the rod back into the cable until the cable is
straight. Do not tighten it enough to put any tension
on the spring.
•
Thread the hex nut down against the end of cable.
Use a pair of pliers and a wrench to lock the nut
against the rod.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten control cable. Too much
tension may cause it to break when engaged.
Figure 4
Reverse Cable
(Model 390 Only)
The reverse clutch cable is the cable which is attached
closer to the front of the tiller. Attach the end of the
reverse cable to the reverse tine drive clutch lever,
above the handle assembly, in the same manner as
you attached the forward cable. See Figure 5.
