The subject assembly must be used when replacing knife disconnects at the gearcase end
of no's. 378535 and 379560 GEARCASE CABLES. (See figure 1). You will find that this
assembly has two special 'heat shrink' sleeves which are used to re-seal the ends of
the wires after new knife disconnects have been installed. Unless these wires are re-
sealed after replacement terminals have been installed gear oil may seep up through the
cable and discharge at the top end onto the powerhead. This not only creates a messy
condition under the shroud, but it also drains gear oil from the gearcase.
Two replacement knife disconnects and two color coded
'heat shrink' sleeves are furnished in assembly
#379645 - ample to service one cable. Installation
instructions are also included which explain how to
install the disconnects and sleeves properly. Color
coded sleeves should be installed so that they match
the color of the sleeve which was originally removed
from the wire. Color identity will be noted as
follows - green for forward, and blue for reverse.
Part No. 379645 TERMINAL AND SLEEVE ASSEMBLY is
available from your Parts Distributor now and carries
a suggested list price of $.50 each. Your regular
dealer parts discount (36%) applies.
