Throttle Control Conversion
The standard engine has a manual throttle control. To operate the manual throttle
control, install a remote throttle control, or convert to a fixed speed. Refer to the
instructions that follow.
NOTE: The engine speed must be correct as specified by the equipment
manufacturer's performance specifications. Contact a Briggs & Stratton Authorized
Service Dealer for assistance.
Manual Throttle Control
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard

2. Use a 10 mm wrench and loosen the nut (P, Figure 5) ½ turn on the throttle control /
®
TransportGuard lever (A).
3. Hold the cable mounting nut (J, Figure 6) with a 10 mm wrench and loosen the
screw (K).
4. Install the cable wire (L, Figure 6) through the hole in the cable mounting nut (J),
and tighten the screw (K). Make sure that the cable wire (L) does not extend more
than ½" (12,7 mm) past the hole.
5. Loosen the screw (I, Figure 6). Attach the cable sleeve (N) under the cable clamp
(M), and tighten the screw (I).
6. Check the operation of the remote throttle control. Move the remote throttle control
from slow to fast 2-3 times. Make sure that remote throttle control and the cable
wire (L, Figure 6) moves freely. Adjust the nut (P, Figure 7) as necessary for the
specified position.
Front Direction
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard
position.
2. Use a 10 mm wrench and loosen the nut (P, Figure 7) ½ turn on the throttle
®
control / TransportGuard lever (A).
3. Hold the cable mounting nut (J, Figure 8) with a 10 mm wrench and loosen the
screw.
4. Install the cable wire (L, Figure 8) through the hole in the cable mounting nut (J)
and tighten the screw (K). Make sure that the cable wire (L) does not extend more
than ½" (12,7 mm) past the hole.
5. Loosen the screw (I, Figure 8). Attach the cable sleeve (N) under the clamp (M) and
tighten the screw (I).
6. Check the operation of the remote throttle control. Move the remote throttle control
from slow to fast 2-3 times. Make sure that the remote throttle control and the cable
(L, 8) moves freely. Adjust the nut (P, Figure 7) as necessary for the specified
position.
Remote Throttle Control with Solid Wire Cable
A remote throttle control with a solid wire cable can be installed in one of four directions:
Cylinder Head Direction, Front Direction, Left Direction, or Right Direction.
Cylinder Head Direction
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard
2. Remove the spring (S, Figure 9).
3.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard
4. Use a 10 mm wrench and loosen the nut (P, Figure 4) ½ turn on the throttle control /
®
TransportGuard lever (A).
5. Install the Z-fitting of the solid wire cable (Q, Figure 9) to one of the small holes in
the bellcrank (R).
6. Loosen the screw (I, Figure 9). Attach the cable sleeve (N) under the cable clamp
(M), and tighten the screw (I).

5. Install the Z-fitting of the solid wire cable (Q, Figure 10) to one of the two small
holes in the bellcrank (R).
6. Loosen the screw (I, Figure 10). Attach the cable sleeve (N) under the clamp (M)
and tighten the screw (I).
7. Check the operation of the remote throttle control. Move the remote throttle control
from slow to fast 2-3 times. Make sure that the remote throttle control and the
cable (L, Figure 10) moves freely. Adjust the nut (P, Figure 4) as necessary for the
specified position.
Left Direction
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard
2. Remove the spring (S, Figure 4).
3.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard
position.
4. Use a 10 mm wrench and loosen the nut (P, Figure 4) ½ turn on the throttle
®
control / TransportGuard lever (A, 11).
5. Remove the throttle control knob (W, Figure 11) to get to the small hole (S).
6. Install the Z-fitting of the solid wire cable (L, Figure 11) to the small hole (S) in the
throttle control lever (A).
7. Loosen the screw (I, Figure 11). Attach the cable sleeve (N) under the clamp (M)
and tighten the screw (I).
8. Check the operation of the remote throttle control. Move the remote throttle control
from slow to fast 2-3 times. Make sure that the remote throttle control and the
cable (L, Figure 11) moves freely. Adjust the nut (P, Figure 4) as necessary for the
specified position.
Right Direction
To install a remote throttle control from the right direction, a cable mounting bracket
(U, Figure 12) is required. Refer to the Specifications and Service Parts section for
the part number. To purchase a cable mounting bracket, contact a Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Service Dealer.
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard

3. Remove the throttle control knob (W, Figure 12) to expose the small hole (S).
4.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard
position.
5. Use a 10 mm wrench and loosen the nut (P, Figure 4) ½ turn on the throttle
®
control / TransportGuard lever (A, 12).
6. Install the Z-fitting of the solid wire cable (L, Figure 12) to the small hole (S) in the
throttle control lever (A).
7. Remove the bolt (T, Figure 12). Install the cable mounting bracket (U) as shown.
Attach the cable mounting bracket (U) with the bolt (T). Tighten the bolt (T) to 30 lb-
in (3,4 Nm). Refer to the Specifications and Service Parts section.
