ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right
(Figure 4).
With the engine running and the Forward/Reverse
handle in the FORWARD or REVERSE position,
vehicle speed will increase as the accelerator
pedal is depressed. When the accelerator pedal
is released, it will return to the original position
and the engine will idle. See WARNING and
CAUTION on page 11.

WARNING
• Do not start or operate a Retriever vehicle with a sticky or improperly operating throttle. A
sticky or improperly operating throttle could cause an accident resulting in severe injury or
death.
• Always contact your Service Center for service repairs whenever throttle problems arise.
• Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result in the throttle
sticking during driving and cause an accident.
• Always check the accelerator pedal for free movement and return before starting the engine.
Check occasionally during driving.
• The normal free play of the accelerator pedal is 1/8 ~ 3/8 inch (5 mm ~ 10 mm). To measure free
play, measure the rotation of the accelerator pedal from rest position to the position the throttle is
affected.
• To adjust free play, loosen the nut on the barrel adjuster located above the accelerator pedal and
adjust to the proper position.
BRAKE PEDAL
The brake pedal is the large pedal on the left. To
slow or stop the vehicle, depress the brake pedal
(Figure 5).
Brake adjustment
• The pedal free play should fall between 3/8” ~
3/4 in. (10 ~ 20 mm). Check the free play by
measuring the travel of the brake pedal from the
rest position to the position when you first feel
tension on the cables.
• If there is more than 3/4” free play, use a 3/8”
socket to tighten the nut on the brake pedal lever
arm (Figure 5b).
• If the free play is excessive, have it repaired by
your service center.
