CLEANING AND INSPECTING
Clean the box halves thoroughly inside
and out with solvent and blow them dry with
compressed
air. Apply a thin coat of engine
oil on all metal parts. The three-position
switch installed in the gear box cannot be
repaired. Therefore, if a problem is isolated
to the switch it must be replaced.
Throttle Cable Lubrication
If the throttle cable is not to be replac-
ed, now is an excellent time to lubricate the
inner wire.
9- To lubricate the inner wire, remove
the casing guide from the cable at both
ends. Attach an electr ic drill to one end of
the wire. Momentarily turn the drill on and
off to rotate the wire and at the same time
allow lubricant to flow into the cable, as
shown.
ASSEMBLING
Switch Installation
1- Position the switch box inside the
shift box underneath the retainer and slider
and secure it in place with the two Phillips
screws. Check to be sure the two terminals
on the bottom side of the switch are to-
wards you. This will place the forward
button closest to the throttle handle.
2- Install the two small Phillips screws
into the top of the shift box. These two
screws secure the switch box to the retain-
er.
3- Connect the wires to the bottom of
the switch. Connect the red wire to the
POSITIVE terminal; the green to the FOR-
WARD terminal; and the blue wire to the
REVERSE terminal.
4- Slide the buttons down over the pro-
trusions of the switch and seat them in
place.
