Engine Connection

CAUTION
!
Over jamming the transmis-
sion stop at either at either end
of the shift travel may 1) cause
excessive wear of the drive and
shift gear 2) result in a heavy feel
of the hand lever and/or 3) over
stress and damage the cable.
The throttle cable must be dis-
connected from the engine
before making engine idle ad-
justments. Adjustment of the
engine idle while the throttle
cable is still connected to the
engine may cause a jamming
action against the idle stop. As a
result, the control may not func-
tion properly and damage to the
control cable and/or the engine
could result.
Unless the above procedures
are followed, engine RPM will
raise excessively during the
shift cycle.
For this reason there is a com-
pression spring-type throttle
dwell built into the cable an-
chor assembly, which allows the
throttle cable action to remain
stationary during the shift cycle
(See Figure 5).
As a result, the hand lever
must be in the forward detent
position and the carburetor
arm must be at the idle position
while connecting the throttle
cable to the engine.
The full open throttle position
usually varies with the make of
the engine. If the throttle travel
is less than the full stop position
of the control, an effort should
be made to limit the hand lever
travel by means of a shelf, or a
stop of some sort, under the
hand lever. Excessive pressure
on the hand lever at full open
throttle position may cause
damage to the control and/or
the engine.
Connect the shift and throttle cables to the shift and throttle levers at the en-
gine, following the instructions provided with the appropriate connection kit or
with the engine.
Shift cable must connect so that the "FORWARD" , "NEUTRAL" and "REVERSE"
positions of the control's shift lever will coinside with the forward, neutral and
reverse positions of the transmission's lever.
Re-adjust the cable terminal until the correct function of the shift lever is
achieved.
Proper adjustment of the shift cable will result in a much better operation of
the control.
For Throttle cable connection, adjust the engine to a smooth idle as recom-
mended by the engine manufacturer. This must be done BEFORE connecting the
control throttle cable to the carburetor or governor arm.
Place the hand lever of the control into the forward detent position.
Place the carburetot arm slightly against the idle stop.
Adjust the throttle cable terminal (at the engine end) to line up with the hole
on the carburetor arm.
Proper adjustment of the throttle cables will assure having a long life from this
control. When the throttle cable is correctly adjusted, the engine speed will re-
main at idle while the control is shifted, and will increase only when the hand
lever is moved beyond the shift detent.
