Throttle Control Cable

NOTE: Before adjusting throttle control cable, remove all free play from inner throttle cable connecting accelerator pedal to throttle body linkage.

With engine idling at normal operating temperature (cooling fan comes on), loosen throttle control cable adjustment lock nuts at transaxle control lever bracket. See Fig 1 or Fig 2 .
Adjust lock nuts to synchronize movement of transaxle throttle control lever and throttle body throttle lever/linkage. Tighten adjustment lock nuts.
