Forshipping purposes, the throttle cabie,
together with the throttie iever, is wound
around the engine. Carefuiiy unwind the
cabte. If the throttle controi iabet is
covered with a clear protective coating,
peel it off.
To avoid electric shock from a short
circait (electric start tillers only}, never
allow the throttle cabte to teach the
battery. Route cabte bebw the battery,
on the outside or the battery holder.
To attach the throttle lever and cable:
1. Run the throttle cable up the inside
edge of the right handlebar and position
the lever as shown in Figure2-14.
2. From the outside of the handlebar,
insert the curved head screw (A, Figure 2-
14), through the handlebar and the center
hole in the throttie lever mounting
bracket.
3. Loosely instali the flanged iock nut
and move the throttle lever back to the

STEP 9: Adjust Air Pressure in
Tires
For shipping purposes, the tires may be
overinflated. Checkthe air pressure in
each tire and adjust them to between 10
and 20 pounds per square inch. You
must inflate each tire to equal air
pressures to prevent the tiller from pulling
to one side.
