CHECK ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 8 & 10)—Move
control bar back toward handle until slack in
cable is removed. Gap between control bar
bracket and handle should be approximately
1/16”–1/8”. If cable is too loose or too tight,
proceed to step 3 for adjustment procedure.
Note:
The control cable must always have
slack in it when in the disengaged
position.

ADJUST CABLE
A.
Models 38409 & 38414 – Unhook spring
end from the top hole in control bar bracket
(Fig. 8). Slide spring cover off spring and
cable adjuster. Unhook Z fitting from cable
adjuster and reposition Z fitting in a higher
or lower hole on adjuster to obtain proper
gap of 1/16”–1/8” between control bar
bracket and handle (Fig. 9). (Positioning

positioning cable end in a higher hole
increases gap.) Reinstall spring cover over
cable adjuster and spring. Rehook spring
