Acceleration Control
ACCELERATION CONTROLWARNING: Keep the sliding inner cable of the accelerator cable, the accelerator pedal and the pedal shaft free of contact with surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulation and floor carpeting. Contact in these areas may prevent movement of the accelerator cable, reducing the ability to decelerate the vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury to the vehicle occupant(s).
NOTE:
- The accelerator pedal and shaft should travel smoothly from idle to wide-open throttle positions. Hesitation on return or prevention of return to the idle position must not occur.
- The sliding inner member of the accelerator cable should not be lubricated and is not repairable.
The acceleration controls consist of the:
- accelerator cable.
- accelerator pedal and shaft.
The throttle is controlled by an accelerator cable attached to the accelerator pedal and shaft.
