1.3. Tighten the jam nut (31) on the pedal stop to 7-9 ft.lbs. (9/10 N-m.).
2. ADJUST THE BRAKE CABLES - ALL VEHICLES:
2.1. Turn jam nut on the brake equalizer rod until brake pedal free play (the distance the brake pedal
can be depressed before brake actuator arm moves) is from 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6.3 to 12.7 mm) (Fig-
ure 6-4). With the brake pedal fully released, the vehicle should roll freely without brake drag.
2.2. Using two wrenches, tighten the jam nuts on the brake equalizer rod (Figure 6-1).
3. ADJUST THE ACCELERATOR ROD (See page 6-5 for electric vehicles).
• Adjust the Accelerator Rod - Early 1995 Gasoline Vehicles Only:
3.1. Remove the electrical component box cover. The electrical component box is located under the
seat next to the battery. Retain the cover and the screw for later installation.
3.2. Disconnect the accelerator rod (10) at the accelerator pedal (1), then loosen the jam nuts (12)
(Figure 6-5) and adjust the length of the rod to obtain a throttle cable cam position of 15°-17° as
shown (See Figure 6-6, Page 6-4). See CAUTION on the next page.
• BEFORE SERVICING, TURN THE KEY SWITCH TO OFF AND PLACE THE FORWARD AND
REVERSE LEVER IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION.
• TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING OF THE ENGINE, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY
CABLES, NEGATIVE (-) FIRST. THIS WILL PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE
RUNNING OVER YOU WHEN YOU ARE ADJUSTING THE ACCELERATOR ROD.
