Murray 1502042ma Upper Control Cable

Product Description

The MURRAY 1502042ma is an upper control cable designed for use in Murray lawn and garden equipment. This cable connects the operator presence or blade engagement control to the drive or braking system, transmitting mechanical input from the handle-mounted lever to the corresponding mechanism on the machine. It is a direct OEM-style replacement part intended for installation by small engine technicians and equipment service professionals. The cable must maintain proper tension and smooth operation to ensure safe and reliable machine function.

This upper control cable is used in residential and light commercial lawn and garden applications. It is typically found on walk-behind lawn mowers and similar Murray-branded outdoor power equipment where cable-actuated control systems are used. Service technicians replacing a frayed, stretched, or broken control cable will find this part a direct fit for the appropriate Murray equipment models.

Key Features

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified small engine technician or outdoor power equipment service professional. Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning any service work to prevent accidental engine start. Route the replacement cable following the original cable path, ensuring it is seated fully in all guides and brackets without kinking. Verify proper cable tension and full engagement and release of the control mechanism before returning the equipment to service.
