At the throttle pedal, locate the nuts on the large aluminum bracket just up from and
to the left of the pedal. Remove the lower nut and loosen off the top nut. Locate the
larger microswitch bracket (1300533) included in the control kit. Slide the top of the
bracket under the upper loosened nut and the lower stud through the hole. Reinstall
the lower nut but don't tighten them yet.
Loosely install the microswitch into the microswitch bracket if not already done. Do
not tighten yet as it will need to be adjusted.
Locate the small pedal bracket (1300532). Position this bracket over the throttle pedal
arm so that it will line up with the microswitch button as shown in the diagram below.
Ensure sufficient clearance between the long Micro Switch Bracket and the throttle
pedal by sliding the bracket as far to the left as possible, to eliminate any possibility
of pedal catching on bracket. Adjust both brackets so that the small bracket on the
pedal arm will depress the button on the Micro Switch when the pedal is in the idle
position.
When satisfied, mark and drill the two holes on the pedal arm and screw or pop rivet
pedal bracket to arm.
Tighten the nuts for the aluminum bracket and do final
adjustments to Micro Switch bracket on the aluminum bracket. Periodic adjustment to
the Throttle Switch might be needed to maintain proper contact with bracket on throttle
pedal.
Connect a length of the supplied wire from the "com" terminal on the micro switch to
the red wire on the spool valve. Run another length of wire from the "NO" (Normally
Open) terminal through the firewall. This will be connected later.
NOTE: If the throttle return springs are weak, they may not be strong enough
to depress the button on the micro switch. In this case the springs will have to
be replaced or additional springs added. Also, worn throttle linkage can make
it difficult to get the micro switch to activate consistently.
