Additional information

This lawn and garden equipment control, part number 746-0312, connects operator controls to the component being actuated, allowing you to engage, disengage, or adjust operation during use. It routes between control points and attachment locations to provide consistent response when the control is moved.

When a control wears out, binds, or breaks, you may notice delayed response, stiffness when operating the control, or a component that does not engage or disengage fully. Fraying, stretching, or internal damage can also prevent smooth operation.

Disconnect the spark plug wire or battery, depending on your equipment, before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Routing areas and connection points may have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the control moves freely and is securely fastened before returning the equipment to service.
