Actuator Control Cable

Removal Procedure




1. Press the release button on the cable adjuster, and push the cable toward the adjuster until the adjuster spring is compressed.

NOTE: When the adjuster button is pressed, do not allow the adjuster spring to expand to a length of more than 2 cm (3/4 inch) or the adjuster rack will come out of the adjuster, and will have to be re-inserted. To keep the adjuster in one piece during adjustment, hold the cable when the adjuster button is pressed.

2. Remove the cable bushing from the pedal assembly.




3. Press the retaining tabs of the cable adjuster, and remove the adjuster from the mounting bracket.




4. Tilt the cable housing and insert a flathead screwdriver into one of the slots in the actuator.
5. Tilt the cable housing toward the screwdriver, so that the cable housing retainers will release.




6. Slide the sleeve and the cable out of the actuator and rotate the cable so it can be removed from the slot in the actuator rod.




7. Remove the cable bail from the actuator rod.

Installation Procedure




1. Insert the ball nipple of the cable assembly into the slot in the actuator rod, and then rotate the cable 90 degrees.




2. Align the cable housing and push the cable housing onto the actuator until it is locked in place by the retainers.




3. Insert the cable adjuster into the bracket of the pedal mount assembly.
4. If the adjuster spring is not fully compressed press the cable release button and slide the cable into the adjuster until the spring is fully compressed.
5. Install the cable bushing into the pedal assembly.
