c)Pull cable upward (pull the cable to the right when facing the control plate on 15 & 17 HP Kawasaki units) until alignment holes in control plate lever and control plate line up. For Kawasaki 15/64” (6mm) drill bit can be inserted through these two holes to align them. For Kohler use a 19/64” drill bit. 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.

e)This step needs to be done after the unit has been assembled and the engine has been started. Refer to Section 4. (Operation Instructions). For Kohler and 14 HP Kawasaki engines:

Check the engine “STOP” position by moving the throttle control fully to the rear. (Note: There is a detent toward the lower end of the slot in the console for “IDLE”; the “STOP” position is rearward from this detent).

For Kohler engines:

If the engine continues to run in the "STOP" position, turn the kill switch adjusting screw inward until engine stops, then give it an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn to assure it will always function properly.

(The 14 HP Kawasaki kill switch is not adjustable). For 15 & 17 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.

For B&S Vanguard Engines:

a)Position the throttle control lever (on console) 1/8" from the upper end of the slot. Route the throttle cable along the right side of the upper handle, under the fuel tank support, and position the cable on the right side of the engine between the oil fill tube and engine.

b)Attach the inner wire to the appropriate throttle control lever on the engine. Loosen the cable clamp on the engine, place the cable behind it and pullup on the cable to move the throttle linkage to the full throttle position.

Tighten the cable clamp screw.

3.9Connect the blade engagement linkages. Loosen jamnut and remove turnbuckle from lower linkage. Screw turnbuckle onto both upper and lower linkages simultaneously. (See figure 5) Note that the threads on upper linkage are left hand. See 5.2.2 for linkage adjustment.
