SPEED CONTROL
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Loosen the setscrew (9) in cam (10) using an 1/8" Allen
wrench. Loosen the jam nut (12) and move the cam to
adjust as needed (Ref Fig. 9). Adjust to permit 1/2" - 5/8"
(13 - 16 mm) of accelerator pedal travel before the micro
switch (11) clicks. Measure the distance at the top of the
pedal with the pedal arm contacting the pedal bracket.
Making sure the setscrew in the cam does not contact
the micro switch actuator. Tighten the setscrew (9) and
the jam nut (12) to the specified torque.
Be sure the accelerator pedal moves smoothly and the
accelerator cable pulls smoothly on the governor arm.
Replace the cover on the pedal box. Tap lightly to set
the cover before installing screws. Replace the access
cover on the floor. Replace floormat and rocker panel.
Road Test
Install the negative (-) battery cable.
Test drive the vehicle and confirm that the compression
spring adjustment results in the maximum governed
speed specified in the GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
section. Determine speed by measuring the time it takes
to travel a known set distance with vehicle at maximum
speed. Enter time and distance into this formula to cal-
culate speed: Rate (in MPH) = (Distance in feet / 5280)
/ (Time in seconds / 3600) or Rate (in KPH) = (Dis-
tance in meters / 1000) / (Time in seconds / 3600). For
example: (300 ft. / 5280) / (13.6 sec. / 3600) = 15 MPH
or (100 m / 1000) / (15 sec. / 3600) = 24 KPH. If the
speed is not within the specified speed range, stop the
vehicle and adjust the governor compression spring as
described in procedure above.
Repeat the test and adjustment until the factory recom-
mended governed speed is achieved. Tightening the
spring results in a speed increase while loosening it will
result in a speed decrease.
