Final Throttle Cable Adjustment - Cub Cadet 6X4 Shop Handbook

Final Throttle Cable Adjustment:

13. To get full travel, adjust the pedal end of the
cable so that the eyelet on the cable core just
rests against the socket head cap screw that
passes through it. There should be 1/8" to 1/4"
travel before tension is felt on the cable.
14. After the cable is adjusted in its bracket, check
the adjustment of the travel-stop bolt beneath
the pedal. See Figure 7.52.

• The travel stop should be set to allow full-speed
operation without over-travel: the pedal stop
should limit the travel.
15. Remove the air filter cover to reach the engine
end of the cable. Loosen the throttle cable
clamp using an 8mm driver.
Release the throttle return spring that hooks
under the cable clamp. See Figure 7.53.

16. Have an assistant hold the throttle pedal all the
way down. The throttle pedal arm stop against
the head of the travel-stop bolt. See Figure 7.54.
17. Pull the throttle cable housing to apply tension to
the governor linkage. Tighten the cable clamp
with the governor input arm in contact with the
stop screw. See Figure 7.55.

18. Reconnect the return spring to the cable clamp.
19. Start the engine and confirm that the engine
idles at 1,200 RPM and reaches 3,850 RPM at
wide-open throttle.
20. Test the operation of the vehicle in a safe area
that is free of obstacles, hazards, or by-standers
before returning it to service. If the cable and
governor adjustment methods are unsuccessful,
engine performance issues or parasitic loads
must be fixed before adjustment will be effective.
