ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE CABLE
Remove the clevis assembly from the hydrostatic control
cable end (see Figure 2.4). Remove one nut on the cable
end. Insert the cable end into the hole in the cable anchor
weldment. Replace the nut and the clevis assembly.
Attach the clevis assembly to the center hole on the feed
control lever.
Adjust the cable detent ball to hold the control arm in the
forward position or neutral position detents.

2.6 CONTROL CABLE
ADJUSTING THE CABLE
The cable is attached and adjusted from the factory, but it should
be checked and adjusted as needed before use. The hydraulic
feed control lever has three positions:
Forward - lever moved toward the operator.
Neutral - lever in center position.
Reverse - lever moved away from operator; reverse has no
detent position.
When the operator moves the control lever to the neutral position,
the detent ball should be positioned in the rear detent slot. The
feed roller should come to a complete stop when the control
lever is in the neutral position. If it does not stop, adjust the clevis
assembly on the control cable as follows:
If the control lever is in neutral and the roller creeps forward,
the cable is too short; adjust it to a longer length.
If the roller creeps in a reverse direction, the cable is too
long; adjust it to a shorter length.
Adjust the cable as needed to compensate for cable
stretch.
