WARNING
Improper installation can result in sudden, unexpected loss of throttle and shift control, resulting in serious injury or death.
Install all control components properly.
IMPORTANT: Threads of the control cable fastener screws contain a threadlocker. Additional threadlocker should not be
applied during the original installation. If the screws are installed and then removed for any reason, apply an appropriate
amount of Loctite 271 Threadlocker on the screw threads and tighten to the specified torque. Failure to apply Loctite 271
Threadlocker on the cable fastener screw threads, or to tighten screws to the specified torque, can lead to the screws
loosening, which could result in loss of throttle or shift control.
IMPORTANT: Applying too much Loctite can result in the locking agent contacting other moving parts of the control,
preventing or limiting proper operation.
