5.2 Adjusting the Throttle Lever
See Graphic: wc_gr003361
The throttle lever is used to vary the speed of the engine and to control
the rpm of the trowel blades to meet specific applications and job
conditions.
5.2.1 Be sure the engine’s throttle control can obtain the idle (slow) position.
If necessary, loosen the throttle casing clamp at the engine and
reposition the throttle cable so that the engine’s throttle control can
reach the idle (slow) position.
5.2.2 Remove the screw (a) on top of throttle lever (b) and lift off the throttle
lever.
5.2.3 Position the throttle lever in the idle (slow) position (1) (parallel with the
body of the control body) so that it engages the teeth of the throttle
cable (c).
5.2.4 Remove the nut (d) and test the position of the throttle cable. When the
throttle lever is at 90° (2) (perpendicular to the control body) two teeth
should show outside the control body (e). Adjust the position of the
throttle lever as necessary.
5.2.5 Secure the throttle lever to the control body with the screw (a).
