5) Repeat this procedure on the other side of the loom.
6) Once both cables are attached, you will need to adjust the cable
lengths.
Note:
When you slide the shift handle back and forth, notice that there are four
detents (or places where the shift handle can be stopped). Each of these four
detents corresponds to the four shuttle boxes.
7) The best way to adjust these cables is to slide the shift handle to
either the far left or far right detent position. This will put one drop
box in the upper position and the other one in the lower position.
8) Loosen the lock nut and you can shorten or lengthen the cable by
screwing this threaded end into or out of the plate at the end of the
shift handle. Adjust the cable so that the drop box shelf is at the
same height as the top of the shuttle race.
9) It may help you to lay a straight edge across the shuttle race and
drop box when doing this to assist you in getting the two perfectly
aligned.
10) When you have it properly adjusted, secure the lock nuts.
