Adjusting the Throttle Cable (continued)
Adjusting the High-Idle Engine Speed
1. Park the machine on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
Note:
the throttle cable.
2. Start the engine and use the throttle control to increase the engine speed to high idle.
3. Use a tachometer to observe the high-idle engine speed.
The ideal range for high idle (for use in non-CE-compliant countries) is 3,350 to 3,550
rpm. If the tachometer shows a speed below 3,350 or above 3,550 rpm, perform the
following steps in this procedure until you attain a speed between 3,350 to 3,550 rpm.
4. Shut off the engine.
5. Adjust the throttle-control stop
idle reading on your tachometer.
• To increase the high-idle-speed threshold,
move the throttle-control stop up.
• To decrease the high-idle-speed threshold,
move the throttle-control stop down.
6. Start the engine and observe the new high-idle
reading.
If the tachometer shows the appropriate
speed, the adjustment is completed.
