Removal and installation
1. Refer to the information provided in chapter 4B. In addition to this, cable adjustment is described in the next subsection.
Adjustment
2. Before proceeding with the adjustment, make sure that there are no sharp kinks in the path of the cable, and there are no areas where it can be pinched. Press the throttle pedal all the way down and check that this effort is transmitted without resistance.
3. With the damper rod in the idle position, check that the spring plate at the end of the cable rests lightly on the compression spring without tension (see fig. 6.3).

8. On models with automatic transmission, refer to Chapter 7B and adjust the pressure control cable action.
9. Let the assistant press the accelerator pedal to the stop. Check that the injection pump control lever rests against the full load limiter. If necessary, turn the adjustment nut on the throttle cable bracket to achieve the proper travel (see fig. 6.3).
10. When finished, repeat steps 3 and 4.
