Adjusting the Throttle Cable

Service Interval: After the first 50 hours—Check the
engine speed (at idle and full throttle).
Every 400 hours—Check the engine
speed (at idle and full throttle).
Adjust the throttle cable (Figure 72) so that the governor
lever on the engine contacts the low and high speed set
bolts before the throttle lever contacts the slot in the
control panel.

Adjusting the Traction Pedal
Linkage
With the traction switch in the mow position (low
speed), the traction pedal should contact the stop just
before the pump is at full stroke to prevent any damage
to the pump. If it does not, perform the following
procedure:
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine,
and lower the cutting units to the floor. Remove the
ignition key.
2. Depress the traction pedal until it is at full stroke
(Figure 73). The jam nuts may have to be loosened
and the stop lowered to attain full stroke.

3. Release the traction pedal and adjust the stop another
half to full turn so that the pedal contacts the stop
just before full stroke is attained, then, tighten the
jam nuts (Figure 73).
