most slack from the cable.

12. Pull down on the cable jacket to remove slack and
secure the cable to the handle using three cable clips,
three 1/4 x 1 in. bolts, and three 1/4-20 in. locknuts
(Fig. 12).
Installing the Steering Stops
1. Align a steering spindle stop in front of the rear tabs
on each front wheel spindle so that the stops contact
the axle during tight turns and prevent the wheels from
contacting the blade frame (Fig. 15).
2. Secure the stops with two 5/16 x 3/4 in. (19 mm) self
tapping bolts (Fig. 15).
