Adjusting throttle control cable
  Note
t  The throttle control cable is very sensitive to bents and must be handled very carefully when installing.
t  A slight bent can lead later on to a fracture while driving. Throttle control cables, which were bent, must therefore not be installed.
t  During installation, make sure that the throttle control cable is aligned between its supports and the traction fixing points.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Spring expansion rod
Procedure
–  Hook on throttle control cable at accelerator pedal and at the cam disc of the throttle valve control unit.

  Note
A second person is required for this purpose or support accelerator pedal with spring expansion rod against the steering wheel.
