Attaching Brake Cable
Attaching snap fitting
The brake cable is attached to the engine at the factory; the free end requires assembly.
• Route the cable under the lower handle and pull the free end up along the upper handle.
• Locate the snap fitting on the cable. The shaft inside this snap fitting fits into the middle hole on the
inside of the left upper handle. Position the snap fitting so that the shaft is aligned with the hole.
Press the snap fitting in place. See Figure 5.

Attaching Z Fitting
Make sure that the hole on the control handle is on the left side of the upper handle. If not, reattach the
control handle following instructions below. Also check and make sure that the control handle touches
the upper handle when squeezed against it. (At this position, the blade is engaged.)
• Pull the Z end of the cable up and insert into the hole on the control handle from the inside. See
Figure 6.
NOTE: The cable should have enough slack that when you squeeze the control handle against the upper
handle, the two handles touch.
