ENGINE RPM ADJUSTMENT
ý
DANGER
• Do not operate gasoline vehicle in an enclosed area without proper ventilation. The engine
produces carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison.
1. If the governor is adjusted, proceed to step 2; otherwise, adjust the governor. See Governor Cable
Installation and Adjustment on page 14-6.
2. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten hardware to 12 ft-lb (16.3 N·m).
See Figure 1-1, Section 1, Page 1-3. Coat terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N
1014305) to minimize corrosion
3. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, chock the wheels, and place the neutral
lockout cam in the MAINTENANCE position.
4. Connect a tachometer (CCI P/N 1016112) to the spark plug lead.
5. With the tachometer connected, and the engine at normal operating temperature, check high speed
RPM. With the accelerator pedal pressed to the floor, the tachometer should read 2950 ±30 RPM.
6. To reduce RPM, adjust the two lock nuts (12) to move the cable housing toward the rear of the vehicle
until the specified RPM is reached ( Figure 14-3, Page 14-7) . To increase RPM, adjust the two lock nuts
(12) to move the cable housing forward until the specified RPM is reached.
7. Be sure both lock nuts are locked against the bracket and then check the RPM again. If the RPM needs
to be adjusted, repeat step 6.
8. If more adjustment is required than the cable housing will allow, make sure the spring on the other end
of the accelerator cable is properly positioned. Excessive belt and torque converter wear can also pre-
vent proper RPM adjustment. Check them for excessive wear.
See Section 17 – Torque Converter.
CHOKE AND AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The choke and air intake system is a simple mechanism requiring very little or no maintenance. The system
consists of a choke assembly mounted at the center of the kick plate. An air filter housing draws clean, cool
air from beneath the vehicle via an opening between the kick plate and the fuel bucket. The air passes
through an air filter, through the choke assembly, and through a hose to the carburetor.
(Figure 14-5,
Page 14-10)
The choke system aids in starting the engine in cold weather. When starting a cold engine, the spring loaded
choke cover is pushed in by hand. This restricts the air flow, creating a “fuel rich” mixture in the carburetor.
The choke cover is held in until the engine starts, and then is released. The air flow to the engine is no longer
restricted, and the engine operates normally.
The choke assembly is adjusted at the factory and does not require field adjustment; however, if the choke
assembly is subjected to abuse or damaged, it may become necessary to replace the assembly.
