Cable Routing Notes
A. Make sure that the cable is not bent smaller
than a 6" radius. The cable should be as straight
as possible to minimize the force required to pull
the cable.
B. Make sure to route the cable away from hot
components like the engine block or exhaust pipes.
The recommended temperature range for the cable
is -65° to +215° Fahrenheit.

Installation Instructions
1. Drill .750-.781" diameter hole in the control panel
or dash board where you would like to mount the
cable. Make sure the control panel or dash board is
rigid and strong in the mounting location.
CAUTION: Be extremely careful not to drill into
any existing wires or components behind the
control panel or dash board.
2. Thread cable through the hole and route it
to the throttle control linkage. Tighten 3/4 nuts
against each side of the mounting surface. Tie
cable away from any moving or hot parts.
3. The end of the cable conduit must be mounted
near the throttle linkage to work properly. You may
use a conduit clamp or bulkhead fitting to hold the
conduit.
4. Attach cable core to throttle linkage with the
supplied throttle stop.
