Important Notes

• Verify compatibility with your specific equipment model, manufacturing number, serial number, and production revision before ordering.
• Homelite / Ryobi OEM parts documentation identifies 996817001 specifically as “HOOK CABLE.”
• Match part number 996817001 directly with the number shown in your equipment's illustrated parts diagram or OEM documentation.
• This component is a cable hook and should not be confused with the complete control cable, wiring harness, cable clamp, cable bracket, spring, linkage, or other retaining hardware.
• Do not select a replacement cable hook based solely on appearance. Dimensions, bends, mounting points, cable diameter, retention method, and equipment application can vary between similar-looking components.
• Inspect the associated cable, cable housing, mounting points, brackets, clips, retainers, linkages, and surrounding components when replacing the hook.
• If the original cable hook has bent or broken, inspect the associated cable for excessive tension, binding, incorrect routing, or other damage.
• A damaged or missing cable hook may allow excessive cable movement or improper routing, which can affect operation of the associated control system.
• Replace frayed, kinked, stretched, cracked, excessively worn, or otherwise damaged cables as necessary.
• Replace bent, cracked, stripped, corroded, broken, or otherwise damaged related mounting components as necessary.
• Route the applicable cable according to the original factory configuration before securing it with the replacement hook.
• Make sure the cable moves freely where required and does not bind, rub against sharp edges, or contact hot or moving components.
• Install the replacement hook in the same position and orientation as the original component.
• Verify proper operation of the associated cable or control mechanism before returning the equipment to service.
• Shut off the equipment, allow all moving components to stop completely, and follow the manufacturer's service procedures before performing repairs.
• This listing is for one Homelite 996817001 Cable Hook only unless otherwise specified. Control cables, brackets, clips, springs, linkages, fasteners, wiring, and other related equipment components are sold separately.
• Match part number 996817001 with your equipment's illustrated parts diagram or OEM documentation before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
