-
The retainer (101) must be installed with the tangs secured over the head of the stud (102).
-
The conduit fitting (103) at both ends of the cable must have the locking tangs expanded and locked into the attaching holes (104).
-
The braided portion of the cable (105) must not come into contact with the front of the dash sealer during replacement.
-
Flexible components (hoses, wires, conduit, etc.) must not be routed within 50 mm (2 inches) of the moving parts of the accelerator linkage
unless routing is positively controlled.
-
Lubricate all pivot points with accelerator Linkage Lubricant (P/N 105241, or equivalent).
PEDAL:
Observe the following when performing service on the accelerator control cable:
-
The mounting surface between the support and the dash panel must be free of insulation. The carpet and padding in the pedal and tunnel
area must be positioned to lay flat and be free of wrinkles and bunches.
-
Slip the accelerator control cable (105) through the slot in the rod (106) before installing the retainer (107) in the rod. Make sure it is
seated properly. Use care in pressing the retainer into the hole so the cable is not kinked or damaged.

The linkage must operate freely, without binding, between closed throttle and full throttle.
-
Wire, hoses, cable, and other flexible components must not be placed with 13 mm (0.52 inch) of the cable or rod at any point in their
