73-20-00 CONTROLLING
73-20-10 Throttle
Refer to figure 1. The throttle is controlled by means of the
throttle control levers located on the left side of the cockpit.
These levers are interconnected by the throttle control
linkage. The throttle control levers transfer their movements
to the throttle by means of the throttle control cable. This
cable is routed on the left side of the fuselage, penetrates the
firewall and is then routed centrally below the exhaust
muffler to the throttle. In the engine compartment this cable
is covered with a fire sleeve. The cable is attached to the
fuselage using clamp blocks at its ends, self-clinching plastic
tiedown straps in the cockpit area, and a cushioned clamp at
the exhaust muffler. Rod ends at both terminals of the
control cable serve as a means for rigging. The fire wall
penetration is sealed with PR-812 (Products Research &
Chemical Corp., USA) firewall sealant and covered with
clamp sheets.
