Procedure
NOTE:
The operator panel must be at or near its highest position.
1.) From underneath the handle use a 10mm open-end (small “ignition” style) wrench to screw
out
the
cable adjustment screw so the underside of the screw head is about half way between the casting
and the unsqueezed lever. See
2.) There is a Wire Clamp nestled in the Forked Retainer. Refer to
. Using 2 slotted
screwdrivers (one on each side of the clamp) loosen the clamp.
3.) Using needle nose pliers, hold the cable end which is above the clamp and pull upward to take up
any cable slack.
4.) Using one of the two slotted screwdrivers, push the Clamp down along the cable so that it is nestled
back in the Forked Retainer.
5.) Tighten the clamp with one screwdriver to hold the cable. Let go of the pliers and then use the two
screwdrivers to fully tighten the clamp.
6.) Without squeezing the release lever, check that the forked retainer is in its fully up position.
7.) Squeeze the release lever and watch the forked retainer move down immediately as the lever is
squeezed, there should be very little play in the cable. Small amounts of play can be taken up (or
slackened) with the cable adjustment screw per step 1.
