Adjusting accelerator control

ADJUSTING ACCELERATOR CONTROL

Before adjusting accelerator control cable, lubricate arrowed pin throughly using "TUTELA MRM2" grease. To adjust the accelerator control cable, proceed as follows; Check that with link (8) disconnected from head of throttle control lever (7), block (10) is at the end of its travel. Under these conditions, accelerator cable (1) must not be too tight or slack so that no free accelerator pedal is present. If this is not the case, loosen locknuts (2) and undo hexagonal nut (3). Connect link (8) to head of lever (7) removed previously. The link seat must be level with the head. If not, loosen locknuts (9) and adjust link (8), tighten the locknuts. Once adjustment is complete, press down accelerator pedal to floor and check that with throttle fully open, bush (11) fitted to the accelerator cable is flush against bush (6). If not, loosen locknut (5) and adjust bush (6) to tighten the locknut.
