4. On the Pony's 5HP Briggs engine and the
Junior's 4HP Tecumseh engine, remove the filler
cap from the oil fill tube at the side of the engine.
See Photo 2-15B. Add oil unti l overflowing.
Replace the filler cap securely.
Photo 2-15A: On 6HP Tecumseh engine, check oil
level with the dipstick. Photo 2-15B: On 5HP Briggs
and 4HP Tecumseh engines, oil must overflow from
the oil fill tube to be correct.
5. If oil needs to be added, use quality SAE 30
weight oil with an API rating of
SF.
Add a little oil
at a time, and check the oil level. Keep adding oil
until the oil level is correct. Be careful not to
overfill the engine as this can cause engine dam-
age-drain
out any excess oil.
STEP 7: ATTACHING THE
ENGINE THRO
TT
LE LEVER
TO THE CONTROL PANEL
The
engine
throttle
cable
(with
lever)
is
wrapped around the engine for shipping pur-
poses. Unwrap it from the engine and install it as
follows:
1.
Locate
two
#10-32
x 1
/2"
slotted
head
screws, two
#10-32
nuts , and two #10 lock-
washers in your hardware bag. Keep this hard-
ware at hand so you can attach the Engine
Throttle Lever to the control panel.
2. Run the engine throttle cable alongside the
right-hand handlebar.
3. Position the Engine Throttle Lever beneath
the control panel. Insert the lever up through the
slot in the control panel that is marked "ENGINE
THROTTLE."
4. Insert each of the screws through a
"+" mark
on the control panel decal. Align the holes in the
Engine Throttle Lever base with the screws and
be sure the screws go through the base.

5. Snug the base of the throttle lever up against
the bottom of the control panel. Install a lock-
washer and a nut on each of the threaded ends
of the screws. Use a 3/8" wrench and a flat tip
screwdriver to tighten both screws.

6. Place the "T-shaped" Engine Throttle Lever
knob on the end of the Engine Throttle Lever.
Use the piece of wood to tap the knob until it
seats firmly on the Engine Throttle Lever.

Lever
Knob.
7. Move the Engine Throttle Lever forward and
backward to check its movement. It should move
smoothly through the full range of its travel.
P
lease
note
there
is a
detent
(a
catch)
at
"SLOW." This prevents you from unintentionally
shutting off the engine when you are just trying
to slow the engine down. If it is difficult to move
the Engine Throttle Lever away from "STOP",
loosen both screws and move the lever assem-
bly slightly to the left. Tighten both screws and
re-check the Engine Throttle Lever's movement.
Spend a couple of minutes adjusting this assem-
bly until the lever moves smoothly.
