Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to ensure safety. Remove any existing clutch cable by loosening the clamps and carefully detaching the eyelets from the pedal assembly.
2. Measure Length: Position the new ABS K26850 cable along the original routing path. Use a measuring tape to confirm that the length matches the vehicle’s specifications, allowing for a small allowance for tension adjustment.
3. Secure Eyelets: Attach the cable’s eyelets to the pedal arm and the clutch fork using the provided clamps. Tighten firmly but avoid overtightening, which could damage the cable or alter tension.
4. Tension Adjustment: Locate the built‑in tensioning screw on the cable housing. Rotate clockwise to increase tension until the clutch engages at the desired pedal position. Verify that the engagement feels smooth and consistent across the entire travel range.
5. Final Checks: Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and test drive the vehicle. Observe the clutch’s response during gear changes, ensuring there is no excessive slippage or premature wear.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of fraying, corrosion, or abnormal slack. Replace immediately if any damage is detected.
• Avoid exposing the cable to harsh chemicals or extreme moisture environments that could degrade its protective coating.
• When performing routine vehicle maintenance, check the tension and alignment of the clutch cable as part of a comprehensive safety inspection.
