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 service center for
service if throttle problems arise.
Always check the pedal for free movement
and return before starting the engine and
occasionally during operation.

Throttle Pedal

Check to see that the accelerator pedal
operates correctly. It must operate smoothly
and fully spring back to the idle position when
released. Have a service center repair as
necessary for proper operation.
Throttle Freeplay
If the throttle pedal has excessive play due to
cable stretch or mis-adjustment, 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. Adjust the freeplay if necessary.
