REMOTE CONTROL
(see
Figure 8):
For satisfactory engine performance, engine and equipment
control must be adjusted properly. To check engine control ad-
justments, proceed
as
follows:
A. Set equipment control at
"FAST'
or
"HIGH SPEED" and
keep
it
in this position.
In
this position, engine control lever should touch "HIGH
S
PEED
STOP". If
it
does, the controls are adjusted correctly
and no further adjustment should
be
necessary.
NOTE: If engine control lever does not touch "HIGH
SPEED
STOP", proceed
to
instruction
B.
B.
Loosen clamp screw
so
remote control cable can
be
moved
in cable clamp (do
not
remove cable clamp from control
bracket
or
disconnect remote control cable from engine con-
trol lever).
C.
Move engine control lever
so
it
is
touching "HIGH
SPEED
STOP" and hold
it
in this position.
D.
Tighten clamp screw securely
so
cable clamp will hold
remote control cable
in
place when equipment control
is
used.
The engine controls should
now
be
adjusted correctly.
If more adjustments are needed, make them at
the
equipment
control
(see
equipment manufacturer's instructions).

been
used, complete above instruc-
tions and then put

found on stabilizer container.
Run
engine at least
10
minutes after adding stabilizer
to
allow
it
to
reach car-
