Pre-set adjustment before self-adjusting the cable by inserting small screwdriver in loop (crank arm end) of cable and sliding self-adjusting clip so that it is 1" away from loop. See Fig 1.
- Install cable if removed and move lever to "WARM" or "DEF" position to position self-adjusting clip. Check for proper operation and repeat if necessary.
