Attaching Turn Triggers
• Make sure that the right hand trigger cable is
routed in front of the traction drive cable.
• Feed the trigger cable up through the outer side of
the slot in the handle panel. Do not feed the cable
through the same side of the slot as the Z fitting.
• Place the cable barrel fitting into the hole in the
trigger. You can find the triggers and associated
hardware in group H of the hardware pack (on
page 5). Pull on the cable and rotate it around the
bottom of the trigger, with the inner cable in the
slot, until the cable end can be pushed into the
trigger housing and snapped tight. See Figure 12.
Figure 12
Note: When the cable is installed correctly, it should
not be possible to pull cable out of the trigger housing.
• Place the right turn trigger in position
underneath the right handle. Secure with screw
and weld nut from group H of the hardware
pack. See Figure 13. You will need a phillips
screwdriver for tightening the screw. Repeat on
left side.

hardware pack. Make sure to route the cable tie
over the drive cable. See Figure 14.

• Secure the left turn trigger cable to the lower
handle using the other cable tie. Make sure to
route the cable tie below the auger drive cable
so that when the trigger cable is secured by the
cable tie, the auger drive cable is left outside the
cable tie.Trim excess ends from each cable tie.
NOTE: The right side cable tie must be used to keep
cable from coming in contact with the moving shift
arm from the transmission.
Lamp Wiring
• Wrap the wire from the lamp down the right
handle. Plug wire into the alternator lead wire
under the fuel tank. See Figure 15.
