NOTE
• AS ACCELERATOR PEDAL DISTANCE FROM THE FLOORBOARD IS INCREASED, THE BRAKE
PEDAL RATCHET AND PAWL GAP IS DECREASED, AND AS THE PEDAL DISTANCE IS
DECREASED, THE RATCHET AND PAWL GAP IS INCREASED. IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL
DISTANCE FROM THE FLOORMAT IS ADJUSTED, CHECK AND ADJUST THE RATCHET AND
PAWL GAP AS INSTRUCTED IN SECTION 5. ADJUST THE PARK BRAKE AS SHOWN, PAGE 6-8.
• Adjust the Accelerator Pedal Stop - Early 1995 Electric Vehicles
DANGER
• BEFORE SERVICING, TURN THE KEY SWITCH TO OFF AND PLACE THE FORWARD AND
REVERSE LEVER IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION.
• TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING OF THE VEHICLE, DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES
(AND DISCHARGE CONTROLLER ON POWERDRIVE SYSTEM 48 VEHICLES) AS INSTRUCTED
IN WARNING ON PAGE 6-1 (SEE FIGURE 22-5 OR 22-6, PAGE 22-5). THIS WILL PREVENT THE
POSSIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE RUNNING OVER YOU WHEN YOU ARE ADJUSTING THE
ACCELERATOR ROD.
NOTE
• ADJUSTING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOP BUMPER WILL CHANGE BOTH THE PARK
BRAKE RATCHET/PAWL GAP AND THE WIPER SWITCH ARM/WIPER SWITCH STOP BUMPER
GAP. IF ONE OF THESE GAPS IS SUBSEQUENTLY ADJUSTED TO SPECIFICATIONS, THEN
THE OTHER WILL CHANGE AND SHOULD BE CHECKED. AS ONE GAP IS MADE SMALLER,
THE OTHER WILL ALSO BECOME SMALLER; AND IF ONE IS MADE LARGER, THEN THE
OTHER WILL BE ENLARGED.
4.1. Remove the wiper switch cover.
4.2. With the accelerator pedal in free state (not depressed), the wiper switch arm must rest within
.100" (2.5 mm) of the wiper switch stop bumper (Figure 6-10, Page 6-8). It is acceptable for the
wiper switch arm to come into contact with the stop bumper, provided there is no excessive pres-
sure on the arm. To check pressure on the wiper switch arm, disconnect the accelerator rod from
the wiper switch ball stud. This will allow the accelerator pedal (2) to rest against the accelerator
pedal stop bumper (16) (Figure 6-7, Page 6-5). With the pedal against the bumper, try to recon-
nect the accelerator rod to the ball stud. If the accelerator rod has to be pulled or if the accelerator
pedal has to be pushed in order to reconnect the rod, then excessive pressure is being exerted on
the wiper switch stop by the wiper switch arm, and further adjustment is necessary at the acceler-
ator pedal stop bumper (Figure 6-9).
4.3. If the gap between the wiper switch arm and the wiper switch stop bumper is greater than .100"
(2.5 mm), adjust the pedal stop bumper (16) away from the accelerator pedal (2). If the wiper
switch arm is exerting excessive pressure against the wiper switch stop, adjust the pedal stop (16)
toward the accelerator pedal (2) (Figure 6-7, Page 6-5).
4.4. With the key switch OFF and the forward and reverse lever in NEUTRAL, depress the accelerator
pedal and note the amount of pedal travel before the limit switch in the wiper switch is activated.
There should be at least 1/2" (1.27 cm) of travel measured from the top of the accelerator pedal at
rest position to the point where the limit switch is activated. An audible "click" can be heard when
the switch is activated. If pedal travel is not at least 1/2" (1.27 cm), the wiper switch arm is too far
from the wiper switch stop bumper and must be readjusted as instructed in Step 4.3. This is a final
check to ensure that all accelerator pedal stop bumper adjustments have been made correctly
thus far.
