WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from sudden unexpected loss of throttle/shift control.
Control cable fastener screws must be properly torqued and retained with Loctite
Threadlocker to prevent control cable fastener screws from loosening, thus allowing the
cable ends to disconnect.
1. Apply Loctite 271 Threadlocker to the threads of the cable fastener screws.
2. Install the control cables in the appropriate arm in the remote control module.
