ENGINE RPM ADJUSTMENT

ý
DANGER
• Do not operate gasoline vehicle in an enclosed area without proper ventilation. The engine
produces carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison.
1. If the governor is adjusted, proceed to step 2; otherwise, adjust the governor. See Governor Cable
Installation and Adjustment on page 14-8.
2. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten hardware to 12 ft-lb (16 N·m).
See Figure 10-1, Section 10, Page 10-3. Coat terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/
N 1014305) to minimize corrosion.
3. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, chock the wheels, and place the neutral
lockout cam in the SERVICE (MAINTENANCE) position.
4. Connect a tachometer (CCI P/N 1016112) to the spark plug lead.
5. With the tachometer connected, and the engine at normal operating temperature, check high speed
RPM. With the accelerator pedal pressed to the floor, the tachometer should read:
• Turf 2 (with two-wheel brakes): 3170 ±30 RPM
• Turf 2 (with four-wheel brakes): 3170 ±30 RPM
• Turf 2 (with four-wheel brakes and portable refreshment center): 3050 ±30 RPM
• Turf 6: 3050 ±30 RPM
• Carryall 2: 3170 ±30 RPM
• Carryall 2 Plus: 3650 ±30 RPM
• Carryall 2 Plus (with portable refreshment center): 3050 ±30 RPM
• Carryall 6: 3050 ±30 RPM
• Villager 6 and 8: 3050 ±30 RPM
• TransPorter vehicles: 3050 ±30 RPM
6. To reduce RPM, loosen the accelerator cable retaining nut on the outside of the electrical box wall and
tighten the retaining nut on the inside of the wall until the specified RPM is reached (Figure 14-4,
Page 14-7). To increase RPM, loosen the cable retaining nut inside the electrical box and tighten the nut
outside the box until the specified RPM is reached.
7. Be sure both retaining nuts are locked against the electrical box and then check the RPM again. If the
RPM needs to be adjusted, repeat step 6.
8. If more adjustment is required than the cable housing will allow, make sure the spring on the other end
of the accelerator cable is properly positioned. Excessive belt and torque converter wear can also pre-
vent proper RPM adjustment. Check them for excessive wear. See Section 17 – Torque Converter.
