ATTACHING THE CABLES
All models have three cables that need to be attached.
1.The engine throttle control cable.
2. The roller clutch cable.
3.The OPC (Operator Presence Control) cable.
1. FITTING THE ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE.
The cable is shipped attached to the handle and must be fit-
ted and adjusted at the lower end. Feed inner cable ‘z’ fitting
through the small hole in the carburettor lever and lightly
clamp the the outer casing of the cable under the saddle
clamp as illustrated below.
Before fully tightening the saddle clamp, check the action of
the the throttle control lever by moving it back and forth.
When the ‘FAST’/ and ‘SLOW’/ positions of the throttle
lever are satisfactory tighten the saddle clamp firmly.
2. FITTING THE ROLLER CLUTCH CABLE.
This cable will be already attached to the mower at the lower
end. The clutch cable is the one that enters the mower under
the shaft cover. With the cable running above the cross bar of
the lower handle, feed the end of the ‘z’ fitting—at the top of
the flexible inner cable—though the small hole in the roller
clutch bail, found below the handle. Turn the ‘z’ fitting so the
cable is running alongside the upper handle.
Fit the cable anchor up under the handle tube and attach it to
the tube with the fastener provided.
It may be necessary to adjust the cable operation after fitting
the cable, see page 8 for details.
3. FITTING THE OPC CABLE.
The OPC (Operator Presence Control) cable is attached to a
switch box close to the engine output shaft. Route the cable
above the lower handle crossbar and feed the end of the ‘z’
fitting on the inner cable though the small hole in the OPC
lever—above the handle.
Clip the OPC cable anchor to the upper handle from above by
inserting it’s peg into the hole in the handle. Press it down
firmly until it locks into position.
FINISHING CABLE INSTALLATION.
Try folding the upper handle to ensure the cables are not
being strained. If necessary re-route cables that are unduly
stressed. When the cables are satisfactorily routed secure
them in place using the cable ties provided.
