careful not to kink the cable).
1.
Route the clutch cable to the left side of the tiller,
and underneath the handle. Remove one hex
nut and lock washer from the end of the casing
on the clutch cable. Thread the other nut all the
way onto the threaded casing, as far as it will go.
2.
Slip the wire through the slot on the cable
bracket on the handle. Push the end of the
casing up through the cable bracket. Slide the
lock washer on the casing and rethread the hex
nut on the end of the cable casing, four turns.
Do not tighten at this time. See Figure 5.

Pull the cable upwards to obtain slack, push the
"Z" end into the bail. You will need to attach "Z"
fitting from the inside to the outside.See Figure

bottom nut at the cable bracket three turns up
from end of threads. Tighten the upper nut
against the bracket. Carefully squeeze the clutch
control bail against the handle. The control wire
should now be straight.

Do not overtighten control wire. Too much
tension may cause it to break.
