MAINTENANCE
Speed Control Lever
Adjusting Speed Control Cable
The forward and reverse functions of the
speed control system are set at the factory. If
additional adjustment is needed, there are two
locations to accomplish this action. The first is
located between the upright assembly and
engine on the left side of the saw. The cable
connects to the hydro pump assembly control
arm. The cable has two jam nuts located on
the rear engine support to adjust the cable
length as necessary. The second location is
inside the upright where the control cable
connects to the speed control lever. There are
two jam nuts at this end of the cable for
adjustment as well.
