23) to the potentiometer and remove the cover.
4. Remove the bolt (9), washer (8) (See NOTE below), and lock nut (11) from the spring retainer (12) with
the pivot support bearing (10) (Figure 6-19, Page 24).
5. Remove the hex head cap screw (4), two flat washers (5), and lock nut (7) from the accelerator pedal
and pivot rod assembly (6) (Figure 6-19, Page 24).
6. Remove the bolt (9), flat washer (8) (See NOTE above), and captured lock nut (11) from the actuator
lever (17) and pivot rod assembly (Figure 6-19, Page 24).
7. Remove the brake ratchet retaining nut (24) from the pivot rod assembly (6) (Figure 6-19, Page 24).
8. Disconnect the spring retainer (12) from the accelerator pivot rod assembly (6) (Figure 6-19, Page 24).
9. Remove the crescent retaining ring (16) (See NOTE above) from the accelerator pivot rod (Figure 6-
19, Page 24).
10. Depress the brake pedal slightly and then slide the park brake ratchet (25) toward the end of the accel-
erator pivot rod (Figure 6-19, Page 24). Rotate the ratchet towards the rear of the vehicle and remove
it from the pivot rod.
11. Hold the actuator lever (17) and accelerator pedal (1) in place and remove the accelerator pivot rod and
plastic washer (18) (Figure 6-19, Page 24).
12. Pull the accelerator pedal (1) (Figure 6-19, Page 24) out of the vehicle from the top side of the floor-
board.
13. Remove the four hex head cap screws (23), flat washers (27), and lock nuts (11) attaching the acceler-

24), and remove the pivot rod support and the potentiometer assembly.
INSTALLING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY
DS PowerDrive System 48 Vehicles and DS PowerDrive Plus Vehicles (Serial Num-
bers Prior to 9711-564736)
1. Position the accelerator pivot rod support (22) and the potentiometer assembly (21) on the vehicle
frame and install the four hex head cap screws (23), flat washers (27), and lock nuts (11). Tighten the
nuts with fingers only at this time (Figure 6-19, Page 24).
2. Insert the lower end of the accelerator pedal (1) through the floorboard and install the accelerator pivot
rod (6) through the uppermost hole in the pedal. Install the bolt (4), two washers (5), and nut (7)
through the lower hole in the pedal and through the pivot rod. Tighten the nut with fingers only at this
time. Install the actuator lever (17) (Figure 6-19, Page 24) on the pivot rod and position the pedal and
actuator lever on the rod so that about one-half of the total length of the pivot rod is protruding out of
the actuator lever.
3. Place the plastic washer (18) on the end of the accelerator pivot rod and align the pivot rod and washer
with the hole in the potentiometer housing (21), then insert the pivot rod through the potentiometer,
vehicle frame, and pivot rod support until the end of the pivot rod is flush with the outside surface of the
pivot rod support (22) (Figure 6-19, Page 24).
