Accelerator Controls

The accelerator control system is cable-operated. Depressing the accelerator pedal allows the cable to pull the throttle lever open and increase the throttle opening. Releasing the accelerator pedal allows the pressure of the throttle lever spring to return the throttle lever to the idle position and decreases the throttle opening.

The accelerator control cable must move smoothly and freely through the full range of the throttle opening. The correct adjustment of the accelerator control cable is critical to safe vehicle operation.
