STEP 12; (SEE FIGURE 12)
•
Insert the round hook end of the angle lock spring up
through the hole in the spring mount bracket.
• Insert the angle lock bars down through the slot in
the channel. Underneath the channel, place a 1" long
spacer (U) on each side of the angle lock bars and
insert a 1/4" x 3-1/4" bolt (A) through the channel,
angle lock bars and the spacers. Secure the bolt with
a 1/4" nylock nut (J). Tighten so that lock bars can
pivot freely.
• At this time tighten the 3/8" carriage bolt and hex nut
previously assembled to angle lock bars.
NOTE; When the angle lock bars are pulled back in slot,
the pivot plate should unlock and be free to pivot to the
right or left position.
STEP 13: (SEE FIGURE 13)
• Using a hammer, assemble a 3/8" pafnut (S) onto one
end of the spring mount rod. Insert the other end of
the spring mount rod through the pivot plate using the
rear set of holes. Support the assembled end of the
spring mount rod on a block of wood, and assemble
the remaining palnut onto the other end of the rod.
STEP 14: (SEE FIGURE 14)
* Assemble a 3/8" x 1-1/4" carriage bolt (E) through the
square hole in the cable mount bracket and through
the square hole in the angle lock bars. (The carriage
bolts should face in opposite directions.) Using pliers
hold the cable mount bracket in position, angling down
towards the L.H. hole in the channel as shown in
figure 10. Secure with a 3/8" nylock nut (L). Tighten.
Refer to the figure for the correct angle for the cable
mount bracket.
STEP 15: (SEE FIGURE 15)
• Assemble one 5/16" jam nut (I) approximately 3/4"
onto threaded end of control cable that has no rubber
cap or preassembled nuts. Assemble threaded cable
end through round hole in cable mount bracket and
secure with another 5/16" jam nut (I). Tighten.
NOTE: Some adjustment of jam nuts may be required
after blade assembly is completed.
