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 THE CONTROLLER ON POWERDRIVE VEHICLES) AS INSTRUCTED ON
PAGE 6-1 (SEE FIGURE 22-5, PAGE 22-5). THIS WILL PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE
VEHICLE RUNNING OVER YOU WHEN YOU ARE ADJUSTING THE ACCELERATOR ROD.
4.1. Remove the wiper switch cover.
CAUTION
• ADJUST THE ACCELERATOR ROD/WIPER SWITCH ARM EXACTLY AS STATED IN STEP 4.2
OR THE WIPER SWITCH COULD BECOME DAMAGED AND NOT OPERATE PROPERLY.
4.2. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal fully to the floor and hold it in this position. With the acceler-
ator pedal fully depressed, the wiper switch arm brush should be positioned entirely on the last
fixed contact. It is acceptable for the wiper switch arm to come into contact with the wiper switch
housing provided there is no excessive pressure against the housing. To check wiper arm pres-
sure against the housing, keep the accelerator pedal fully depressed and disconnect the acceler-
ator rod from the wiper switch ball stud. Then try to reconnect it. If the accelerator pedal must be
released in order to reconnect the accelerator rod, then the wiper switch arm is exerting excessive
pressure against the housing - proceed to step 4.3. If the accelerator rod can be easily con-
nected, it is correctly adjusted.
