2-16 Throttle Installation
To install the throttle kit assembly 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 Ny-Flange Locknuts P#(K2038)
(Figure 2-16a). 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 2-16b & c).
To remove the throttle cable kit, lift the throttle spring plate
and slide the throttle kit to the left.
To fasten the throttle cable end to the engine, place
the throttle control lever into the “slow” position.
Rotate the engine throttle lever to the “slow” position.
Remove screw on the engine next to the “fast”
position. Attach the throttle cable sleeve clamp,
oriented with bent tab up and facing the engine, using
the 10-32 x 3/4” HHFS provided in the engine
hardware. Insert “Z” bend into the hole on the throttle
lever. Clamp the throttle cable sleeve to the engine
and tighten (Figure 2-16d). 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. The hole for the throttle cable may
be covered by the rubber sleeve.
