• Install remaining components as per Figure 12.
• Physically inspect the two shafts (kicker cable shaft and link arm)
confirming that they are
Parallel
with each other (not binding,
twisting or any other mechanical interference). See Figure 12b.
If the two shafts are not
parallel
, adjust the 3/8" nuts on the drag
link assembly until the two shafts are parallel with each other.

rod showing.
