Full Throttle Can-Am 007-1011 - Manual (Page 3)

D) Left Throttle Adjustment
THE FOLLOWING IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS!
1)
With the right throttle in the FULLY CLOSED position and while holding the throttle plate from moving, pull the bare cable end firmly to the
right to eliminate slack in the cable (pliers or vice grips help to grip the cable).
2) Using the 4mm allen wrench, tighten the short allen screw into the barrel bolt to secure the cable. DO NOT TIGHTEN COMPLETELY until
you are satisfied with the adjustment of the cable (this will flatten the cable inside the barrel bolt, making it more difficult to adjust).
3) Slowly engage the left throttle (with the engine off, of course--we had to put that in for obvious legal reasons) while watching the move-
ment of the right-side adapter plate. If adjusted properly, the right throttle should open fully, and then CLOSE COMPLETELY when left
throttle is released. If it does not do this, continue adjusting position of cable inside barrel bolt until throttle opens and closes fully. When
satisfied with adjustment, tighten allen screw into barrel bolt. (NOTE: There should be one washer between the allen bolt head and the
top side of the adapter plate, and another washer between the plate and the barrel bolt. When the allen bolt is tightened completely into
the barrel bolt it will secure the cable, but there should still be a tiny bit of clearance so the barrel bolt can rotate freely without binding.)
Use your best judgment so you don’t strip threads in the barrel bolt (we’ve never done it yet, but we’re sure someone out there might be
stronger than us….)
4) One more test: Engage the right throttle flipper fully with your right hand while watching the left throttle. Does the left throttle move any
more than 1/8” to ¼”? If so you need to remove the friction by loosening the pivot bolt in 1/8 turn increments until the left throttle move-
ment is reduced to less than 1/8” to ¼”.
5) Final step: Now you’re ready to trim the excess cable. It’s best to use a sharp pair of diagonal cutting pliers or other suitable wire cutters.
You should leave about ½”” of cable sticking out of the blunt (right) end of the barrel bolt. Push the bare wire into the aluminum crimp cap
included with your kit, and crimp lightly with pliers to secure it on to the cable.
6) Before starting your machine, confirm that OEM throttle is in the fully closed (idle) position.
E) VOILA, YOU’RE FINISHED! Now you’re ready for the real test!)
BEFORE EACH RIDE
Always inspect both ends of the cable, the left throttle lever, and the right-side adapter before each ride. Look for mud or ice buildup from the cold
ride on the trailer, loose fasteners and/or kinks in the cable. Make sure before starting engine that both throttles are in the FULLY CLOSED position.
If anything looks amiss, either remedy the problem or remove the adapter plate to disable left throttle. After starting engine, check to make sure left
throttle engages right throttle, and that engine immediately returns to idle when lever is released.
CAUTIONS WHEN RIDING
Getting accustomed to your newly-installed GOLDFINGER left throttle will probably take a day or two of riding. We recommend that you ONLY use
it when sidehilling or hillclimbing. For this reason, we have included a safety locking pin with your kit. This pin should ALWAYS be in place when
trailriding, loading and unloading (we’ve heard horror stories of people who have accidentally grabbed wide-open throttle when slowing for a corner,
and others of people who have launched themselves through the steel fronts of their enclosed trailers.) NEVER, NEVER, NEVER allow anyone
unfamiliar with your machine to operate without your first inserting the safety locking pin! CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 16 SHOULD NEVER
BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE AN ATV WITHOUT THE SAFETY LOCKING PIN IN PLACE. (TIP: Secure your pin to your handlebars with a rubber
band so you don’t lose it. If you do lose it, please contact us via email at
[email protected] or call us at (509) 927-7533 for a FREE RE-
PLACEMENT pin.)
AFTER ROLLOVER/CRASH
Inspect to make sure all parts of the Goldfinger assembly are still in good shape and still properly installed after any crash or rollover.
