2-26 Throttle Cable Installation
NOTE: Engine Driven Models Only
To install the throttle cable kit to the ROPS (roll over
protection system), place the 3/8” U-Bolt P#(K0136)
onto the ROPS with the threads facing the front of the
mower. Next slide on the throttle mount plate assembly
P#(A0666) with the rivets also facing toward the front of
the mower. Tighten the throttle mount plate assembly
securely to the ROPS using (2) 3/8”16 nylon flange lock
nuts P#(K2038) (Figure 2-26a). With the throttle cable
facing toward the engine/blower/blade assembly, place
the throttle base plate over the rivets, Slide the throttle
cable kit to the right, moving the smaller end of the slot
over the rivets. When positioned correctly, the throttle
spring plate will snap into place (Figure 2-26b).
To remove the throttle cable kit, lift the throttle spring
plate and slide the throttle kit to the left.
Route cable over the upper hose as shown in Figure 2-
26c.
Secure the throttle cable to the blower housing assembly
using (1) J-Clip P#(K1455). Use the existing hardware
from the blower housing to secure the J-Clip, as shown
in Figure 2-26c.
To fasten the throttle cable end to the engine, place the
throttle control lever into the “stop” position. Rotate the
engine throttle lever to the “stop” position. Thread the
wire end of the throttle cable into the engine throttle lever
eyelet and tighten the screw. Fasten the throttle cable
sleeve to the clamp on the engine throttle (Figure 2-26d).
Rotate the throttle control lever into the “fast” position to
check for proper installation.
NOTE
: Cable sleeve may need to be cut, depending on
the engine type. Once throttle cable is attached, lift the
plastic top assembly and make sure that the throttle
cable does not interfere with the movement of the plastic
top.
