Adjusting the Accelerator
Pedal
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface, stop the engine,
and engage the parking brake.
Important: You must have the engine shut off and
you must have the throttle-return spring attached
before beginning to adjust the accelerator pedal.
2. Adjust the ball joint on the accelerator cable (Figure
57) to allow 2.54 to 6.35 mm (0.100 to 0.250 inch) of
clearance between the accelerator pedal arm and the
top of the diamond tread floor plate (Figure 58), when
a 111 N (25 lb) force is applied to the center of the
pedal. Tighten the locknut.
Important: The maximum high idle speed is 3650
rpm. Do not adjust the high idle stop.

Adjusting the Clutch Pedal
Service Interval: Every 200 hours
Note: You can adjust the clutch-pedal cable at the bell
housing or at the clutch-pedal pivot. The front hood can be
removed to ease the access to the pedal pivot.

3. Adjust the jam nuts or ball joint until the back, rear edge
of the clutch pedal is 9.5 ± 0.3 cm (3.75 ± 0.12 inch)
from the top of the floor plate diamond pattern, when
an 1.8 kg (4 lb) force is applied to the pedal (Figure 60).

Note: Force is applied so the clutch release bearing
lightly contacts the pressure plate fingers.
4. Tighten the jam nuts after the adjustment has been
attained.
5. Check the 9.5 ± 0.3 cm (3.75 ± 0.12 inch) dimension
after the jam nuts have been tightened to ensure proper
