c)Pull the cable to the right when facing the control plate until the alignment holes in control plate lever and control plate line up. A 15/64” (6 mm) drill bit can be inserted through these two holes to align them. Once the holes are aligned, tighten clamp onto throttle cable.
d)Be sure the choke adjusting screw just contacts the choke lever when the throttle control is in the full throttle position. Choke link should not move when throttle control is moved to the full throttle position. Choke must be completely closed when throttle lever is moved to the full forward “CHOKE” position.
NOTE: For 15 HP Kawasaki engines: There is not a “STOP” position. The engine will continue to run when the throttle control is moved past the rear detent. Turn the ignition switch to the “off” position to stop the engine.
e)Secure fuel line to throttle control cable with a small wire tie from the bolt bag approximately 2” ahead of filter to keep fuel line away from hydraulic lines to prevent vapor lock.
3.11Install the blade engagement linkage to the bell crank on the front, left hand side of the engine deck. Insert rod through the hole from the outside and fasten with hairpin cotter from bolt bag.
3.12Note the square swivel at the end of the hydro control arm linkage. Place the stud end of the swivel into the hole on the end of the short crank arm located at the end of the speed control crank (top, rear of fuel tank support).
Install a 5/16” SAE washer and fasten with a 3/32” x 1/2” cotter pin from bolt bag. Repeat on opposite side of unit (See Figure 3).
