This replacement clutch cable is specially designed for use with snow throwers/blowers. It is a genuine part that is supplied directly from original equipment manufacturer. It allows you to engage and disengage the unit. This metal cable is sold individually.
Replacing this cable is a simple task that should only require a wrench.
• Remove the cable end from the control head and install the new one
• Now you can run the new cable down to the control handle
• Attach the other end of the cable
• Tie the cable in place just as the old one was.
Please note, make sure to leave enough clearance and free play to avoid over-bending and breaking of the new cable.
