Lokar Electric Kickdown Kit TH400 - Manual

Step 5: (Continued) Position the kickdown mounting bracket
behind the carburetor bracket so that the 5/16" diameter
holes at the top of both brackets are aligned, the small
3/16" diameter holes near the center of the two brackets
are aligned, and the kickdown cable adjuster is offset
towards the left side of the vehicle.
Attach the kickdown mounting bracket to the carburetor
bracket using the supplied #8-32 x 1/2" button head bolt
and nylock nut through the small 3/16" diameter center
holes in both brackets, but do not tighten yet.
Insert the throttle cable adjuster (with the rear nut still
installed) from the rear through the top holes in both
brackets. Position it so that the bracket is roughly centered
in the threaded part of the cable adjuster. Install the front
adjuster nut.
Tighten the throttle cable adjuster nuts, the button head
bolt and nut, and the kickdown cable adjuster nuts. Fig. 5
Step 6: Route the cable housing up to the kickdown cable adjuster.
Make sure that the inner wire is removed from the cable
housing. If the cable housing is braided stainless steel,
slide the ferrule down the housing towards the transmission,
away from the end that is being cut. DO NOT remove the
ferrule from the braided stainless steel housing! If the
cable housing is black universal, remove the ferrule.
Measure the distance between the kickdown cable adjuster
and the kickdown cable trans bracket. Add 1" to the
measurement and cut the cable housing to that length.

General Installation Notes:
Please read instructions completely before beginning installation. If you
have any questions please call.
Before starting installation, use wheel chocks to block the wheels.
Do not attempt to install this product while the engine is running.
Disconnect the negative battery cable before beginning installation.
Make sure the engine, transmission, and frame are properly grounded.
We recommend applying anti-seize lubricant to all aluminum threads
before final assembly.
Refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for the component names.
This kickdown kit is designed to be used with Lokar's Carburetor Bracket and Return
Springs, part number SRK-4000.
Step 1: Remove the cable end stop, kickdown throttle body fitting, and kickdown
cable adjuster from the new Lokar kickdown cable. Leave the kickdown
mounting bracket on the kickdown cable adjuster.
NOTE: If you have a braided stainless steel housing, DO NOT remove the
ferrule.
Step 2: Remove the back cover from the aluminum switch box and remove the
slide trigger and inner wire. Fig. 3
Step 3: Mount the aluminum switch box. The aluminum switch box is designed
to be mounted to the bottom of the transmission as shown in Fig. 4, but
it can be mounted elsewhere if you like.
If mounting it on the bottom of the transmission, use the provided
5/16"-18 x 1-1/4" bolts with flat washers and spacers. The spacers go
between the mounting bracket and the transmission pan.
Step 4: If the throttle cable has already been installed, disconnect the throttle
cable from the carburetor. If the engine already has a Lokar Carburetor
Bracket installed, leave the bracket in place but remove the throttle
cable adjuster from it.
If the engine does not already have a Lokar Carburetor Bracket installed,
install one now, following the installation instructions that are provided
with the Lokar Carburetor Bracket.
Step 5: The kickdown mounting bracket mounts onto the back side of the Lokar
Carburetor Bracket. The throttle cable adjuster will pass through the top
hole in both the new kickdown mounting bracket AND the carburetor
bracket.

Step 6: (Continued) If the kickdown cable has the braided stainless steel housing, wrap tape around
the area to be cut and use an abrasive cutoff saw or fine-toothed hacksaw. If the kickdown
cable has the black universal housing, cut the cable housing with heavy duty 8" diagonal
cutting pliers or a hacksaw. Lokar recommends Klein brand Diagonal Cutting Pliers,
# D2000-28 available at The Home Depot or through W. W. Graingers, Part # 4A838.
After cutting the cable housing, put the ferrule back in place at the end of the cable
housing. Insert the cable housing and ferrule into the kickdown cable adjuster.
