ride-on mower on a slight downhill slope with the clutch
disengaged and activating the brake.

Adjusting the Throttle Cable

The throttle cable may need to be adjusted, if the engine
does not respond as it should when accelerating, i.e. if it
produces black smoke or maximum revs are not reached.
Remove the left side cover.
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Loosen the clamping screw for the cable's outer casing and
move the choke control to the full choke position.
Pull the choke cable's outer casing as far to the right as
possible and tighten the clamping screw.
Pull back the throttle to the full throttle position and check that
the choke is no longer actuated.
