CRUISE CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT
1. Unlock cable conduit at accelerator cable bracket.
2. With the throttle closed, lock the cable conduit by pressing down on the cable lock.

^ Cable lock must be fully extended to allow proper adjustment spring operation prior to locking.

ACCELERATOR CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT

^ The cruise control cable must be adjusted prior to performing this procedure.
^ The accelerator control cable adjustment procedure must be followed each time the accelerator cable is disconnected from the throttle body and when any components in the remote progressive throttle system are replaced.

1. Lift the adjustment lever on the accelerator cable up to the unlocked position.
2. Hold the throttle in the closed position while pulling the cable conduit towards the throttle body to adjust the slack.
3. Push the adjustment lever down to the locked position.

Inspect
^ Check for complete throttle opening and closing positions by operating accelerator pedal. Also check for proper carpet fit under the accelerator pedal. Throttle should operate freely without bind between full closed and wide open throttle.
