MAINTENANCE
Throttle Freeplay Adjustment
Inspection
1. Place the transmission in the Neutral (N) position.
2. Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.
3. Measure the distance the throttle pedal moves before the
engine begins to pick up speed. Freeplay should be 1/16”
- 1/8” (1.5 - 3 mm).
Adjustment
1. The throttle cable adjuster is located at the throttle pedal
housing, outside of the cab well.
2. Slide back the cable adjuster boot.
3. Using an open-end wrench, loosen the adjustment jam nut.
4. Using an open-end wrench, move the cable adjuster until
1/16” to 1/8” (1.5 - 3 mm) of freeplay is achieved at the
throttle pedal.
NOTE: While adjusting, lightly move the throttle
pedal in and out.
5. Re-tighten the jam nut.
6. Apply a small amount of grease to the inside of the boot and
slide it over the cable adjuster to its original position.
Throttle Cable Replacement
1. Engine is off. Place the vehicle in neutral and apply the
parking brake.
2. Remove the foot pedal ETC cover screws and ONE left-
side housing mounting screw.
NOTE: Pivot bearing inside the housing is a slip-fit
and will require some light prying to separate the
housing. Use caution.
3. Remove the cable from the housing and the ball-end from
the throttle pedal arm.
