MAINTENANCE MANUAL EXTRA 300LT
A bent nickel-plated brass swivel sleeve as well as wear and
excessive free play at the pivot (swivel) points and sliding
parts are an indication of misalignment and/or hard and
abrupt control inputs. Those signs should be found early
within the regular maintenance. This is a clear indication of
an unacceptable control cable condition, which might result
in a malfunction.
As soon as a control cable becomes difficult to operate, the
reason should be identified. An increase in no-load (cable
free and unattached) friction or an increase in travel length
of a control cable are a good indication of pending
performance problems and/or control cable failure.
The following notes, cautions and warnings describe
application and installation information
W A R N I N G Do not install the control cable with the power on or
the engine running. Serious injury or death could result.
N O T I C E S Protect the cable from contaminants such as fuel, oil,
water, dirt and chemicals, which may damage the
control cable.
Protect the control cable from physical damage by
paint, kinking, vibration, etc., which may damage the
control cable.
I M P O R T A N T A gradual or sudden increase in the no-load (cable free
and unattached) friction of a control cable is a good
indication of pending performance problems and/or
control cable failure. Serious injury or death may
result. Replacement is required.
A gradual or sudden decrease in the stroke (travel)
length of the control cable is a good indication of
pending performance problems and/or control cable
failure. Serious injury or death may result. Replacement
is required.
Control cables which have moisture inside of them or
have frozen, must be replaced. Do not apply heat to
attempt to remove the moisture. Applying heat will not
remove the moisture. Serious injury or death may result.
Replacement is required.
