d) Pull cable upward until alignment holes in control plate lever and control plate
line up. For Kohler units a 19/64" drill bit can be inserted through these two
holes to align them. Once holes are aligned, tighten clamp onto throttle cable.
e) Check that the choke adjusting screw just comes in contact with the choke lever
when throttle control is in the full throttle position. Choke link should not move
when throttle control is moved to the full throttle position. Be sure choke is fully
closed when throttle lever is moved fully forward to the "CHOKE" position.
For Kawasaki engines:
Route the throttle cable along the left side of the upper handle, through the clip,
under the fuel tank support, and position the cable on the front of the engine.
Attach throttle cable to engine:
f) Position the throttle control lever (located on console) ¼" (.64 cm) from the upper
end of the slot.
g) Attach inner wire of the throttle cable to the top hole in the throttle control lever as
shown in Figure 4.
h) Loosen the clamp, place the cable behind it, and pull on the cable to move the
throttle linkage to the full throttle position. Tighten the cable clamp screw.

i) This step needs to be done after the unit has been assembled and the engine
has been started. Refer to Section 4 (Operation Instructions).
For Kohler engines:
Check the engine "STOP" position by moving throttle control fully to the rear.
(Note: There is a detent toward the lower end of the slot in the console for
"IDLE", the "STOP" position is rearward from this detent). If engine continues to
run in the "STOP" position, turn kill switch adjusting screw inward until engine
stops, then give it an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn to assure it will always function
properly.
For Kawasaki engines:
There is not a "STOP" position. Turn the ignition switch to the "off" position to
stop the engine.
Attach the fuel tank hose to the tank fitting and secure with the clamp provided.
Install the blade engagement linkage to the bell crank on the Left Hand side of the
engine deck. Insert rod through the hole from the outside and fasten with cotter
hairpin.
Install and adjust shifter lever.
a) Remove the 3/8" nyloc nut and spring disk washer from the stud on top of the
transmission. Install the shifter lever through slot in shifter lever plate and onto
the stud on top of transmission. Be sure the square-hole washer remains
between the lever and transmission. Replace the spring disk washer and
