A.Cable
maintenance
NOTE:
See maintenance and lubrication intervals
charts. Cable maintenance is primarily con-
cerned with preventing deterioration through
rust and weathering and providing proper
lubrication to allow the cable to move freely
within its housing. Cable removal is straight-
forward and uncomplicated. Removal will not
be discussed within this section.
WARNING:
Cable routing is very important. For details of
~
cable routing, see the table routing diagrams!
at the end of the manual. Improperly routed,
/
assembled or adjusted cables may make the
vehicle
unsafe
for operation.
1.
Remove the cable.
2. Check for free movement of cable within
its housing. If movement is obstructed,
check for fraying or kinking of cable
strands. If damage is evident, replace the
cable assembly.
3. To lubricate cable, hold in vertical posi-
tion. Apply lubricant to uppermost end of
cable. Leave in vertical position until
lubricant appears at bottom. Allow excess
to drain and reinstall.
NOTE:
Choice of lubricant depends upon con-
ditions and preferences. However, a
semi-
drying chain and cable lubricant will
probably perform adequately under most
conditions.
B. Throttle maintenance
1.
Remove Phillips head screws from throttle
housing assembly and separate two halves
of housing.
