f. The Cable Tension Screw that holds tension on the
Steering Cables is located under the base of the Toe
End of the Foot Pedal. This screw can be loosened
just enough so that the Steering Cables can be
pinched together between the Cable Anchor and
Wrap Drum. Use a #3 Phillips screwdriver to loosen
this screw. Turning the screw approximately 8 turns
counterclockwise should provide enough slack in the
cables to adjust. Keep track of the number of turns
the screw is unscrewed so it can be re-tightened
accordingly later.
NOTICE:
The cables are fed through the Cable Anchor
and wound around the Wrap Drum. The right cable is
the shorter cable and begins winding on the Wrap drum
from the top down. The left cable is the longer cable and
begins winding on the Wrap drum from the bottom up.

CAUTION
Over loosening the Cable Tension Screw may cause the
cables to disengage from the Wrap Drum.
CAUTION
Care must be taken so that the Steering Cables remain on
the Wrap Drum when it is disengaged from the Cable Gear.
It is important that the Steering Cables follow the grooves
on the Wrap Drum so that they do not become intertwined or
pop off. Be sure that the electric wire is not damaged as the
Wrap Drum is lifted.
