setting, (all the way past the number (9) until the
notch on the linkage stops against the flat surface
of the dial. Insert control cables in the holes in the
cable mount bracket (3) and guide the inner wire
through the hole in the cable fasteners (13). Slide
cables over so that the slots in the cable ends are
held firmly by cable mount bracket. NOTE: The

against the upper spinner shaft (28), and the rate
gate linkage (9) is slid back against the dial (10).
