2-18 Throttle Cable Installation
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 flange nuts
P#(K1215) (Figure 2-18a). 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 2-18b).
NOTE:
If mower is not equipped with a ROPS Intall the
throttle cable kit to the upper frame assembly P#(A0585)
using the same steps as above. Make sure to locate the
throttle cable kit were it can be easily accessed from the
operator’s seat.
To remove the throttle cable kit, lift the throttle spring
plate and slide the throttle kit to the left.
Route cable over upper hose as shown in Figure 2-18c.
When routing the throttle cable from the ROPS to the
engine, attach (1) J-clip P#(K1455) included in the
throttle kit hardware bag, to the blower housing, using
existing hardware as shown in Figure 2-18c.
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 2-18d).
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, pull the
box handle to dump the box and be sure the cable does
not alter the movement of the box.
