MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Throttle System

WARNING
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle
system can result in an accident and lead to serious injury or
death if the throttle pedal sticks during operation.
Never start or operate this vehicle if it has a sticking or improperly
operating throttle pedal.
Immediately contact your dealer for service if throttle problems
arise.
Always check the pedal for free movement and return before
starting the engine and occasionally during operation.

Throttle Freeplay

If the throttle pedal (1) has excessive play
due to cable stretch or misadjustment, it
will cause a delay in throttle response,
especially at low engine speed. The throttle
may also not open fully. If the throttle
pedal has no freeplay, the throttle may be
hard to control, and the idle speed may be
erratic.
Check the throttle pedal freeplay at the
intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53.
Adjust the freeplay if necessary.
