Loosen nuts securing throttle cable to bracket, push throttle cable sleeve away from operating lever until there is no play in cable and hold in this
position.
Throttle valve must remain closed and accelerator/transaxle linkage must be in ``no throttle'' position.
4.
With slack removed from cable, tighten adjusting nut (nut closest to cable end) against bracket, then torque locknut to
9 Nm (89 inch lbs.) to
secure adjustment.
5.
Install accelerator pedal cable and have helper hold accelerator pedal against floor stop.
6.
Hold transaxle lever against kickdown stop and tighten pedal cable adjusting nut until slack is removed from cable.

Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature and that idle and maximum engine speeds are within specifications, then place transaxle in park
and set parking brake.
2.
Remove injection pump cover, loosen accelerator pedal cable adjuster and disconnect cable.
3.
Remove retaining clip and disconnect socket from ball stud on injection pump lever.
4.
Reposition ball stud on pump lever, as needed, so that travel of stud is
31-33 mm (1.219-1.299 inch) between idle and full throttle stop.
5.

Tighten pedal cable locknut, ensure pedal is at stop and cable is free of tension.
10.
Check adjustment as follows:
a. With accelerator pedal released, hold pump lever against idle stop. Transaxle lever should be in ``no throttle'' position.
b. Hold accelerator pedal in full throttle position (no kickdown). Pump lever should be against full throttle stop, but kickdown engagement
spring should not be compressed.
c. Hold accelerator pedal against floor stop. Transaxle lever should be against kickdown stop and kickdown spring should be compressed.
