Pre-Operation Checks 5-8
Throttle Pedal
Check to see that the
accelerator
pedal
operates correctly. It must operate smoothly
and fully spring back to the idle position
when released. Have a dealer repair as
necessary for proper operation.
Throttle Freeplay
If the throttle pedal has excessive play due
to cable stretch or mis-adjustment, it will
cause a delay in throttle response, especially
at low engine speed. The throttle may also
not open fully. If the throttle pedal has no
freeplay, the throttle may be hard to control,
and the idle speed may be erratic.
Check the throttle pedal freeplay , Adjust the
freeplay If necessary.
WARNING
Failure to check or maintain proper
operation of the throttle system can
result in an accident and lead to
serious injury or death if the throttle
pedal sticks during operation.
Never start or operate this vehicle if it
has a sticking or improperly operating
throttle pedal.
Immediately contact your service
center for service if throttle
problems arise.
Always check the pedal for free
movement and return before starting
the engine and occasionally during
operation.
