Adjust the Accelerator Rod – Gasoline Vehicles, Continued:
5.5. If the events above occur as they should, hold the ball joint at each end of the accelerator rod with
pliers and tighten the accelerator rod jam nut against it.
5.6. Check that events occur as described in step 5.4 above.
5.7. Install the electrical box cover and screw.
• Adjust Accelerator Rod – Turf 1 and Carryall 1 Electric Vehicles Only:
5.1. Remove the driver side wiper switch cover.
See DANGER on page 5-5.
5.2. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to the floor and hold it in this position. With the accelerator
pedal fully depressed, the wiper switch arm brush should be positioned entirely on the last fixed
contact. It is acceptable for the wiper switch arm to come into contact with the wiper switch hous-
ing provided there is no excessive pressure against the housing. To check wiper arm pressure
against the housing, keep the accelerator pedal fully depressed and disconnect the accelerator
rod from the wiper switch ball stud. Then try to reconnect it. If the accelerator pedal must be
released in order to reconnect the accelerator rod, then the wiper switch arm is exerting excessive
pressure against the housing; proceed to step 5.3. If the accelerator rod can be easily connected,
it is correctly adjusted.
5.3. If accelerator rod is not adjusted correctly, disconnect it from the ball stud at wiper switch and
manually rotate bell crank until wiper switch arm brush is positioned
entirely
on the last fixed con-
tact.
5.4. While holding the accelerator rod (17) with locking pliers, loosen jam nut (25) and adjust ball joint
sleeve (24) to fit on the wiper switch ball stud, with approximately the same number of threads
showing at each end of the rod. Then tighten jam nut (25) against sleeve
.
5.5. Depress the accelerator pedal several times and then check to be sure the wiper switch arm
brush is positioned entirely on the eighth fixed contact, and the wiper switch arm is not exerting
excessive pressure against the wiper switch housing.
5.6. Install the wiper switch cover.
