Actuator Cable Adiustment
'1.Check that the actuator cable operates smoothly
with no binding or sticking.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (A,/T in E or E position, M/T in neutral)
until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Measure the amount of movement of the actuator
rod until ths cable pulls on the accelerator lever
(engine speed starts to increase). Free play should
be 11 t 1.0 mm (0.43 i 0.04 in).
LOCKNUT FREE PLAY: 11 t 1.0 mm
10.43 r 0.04 in)
lf free play is not within specs, loosen the locknut,
and turn the adjusting nut as requirsd,
NOTE: lf necessary, check the throttl€ cable frso
play (s€e section 11), then recheck the actuator rod
