THROTTLE ASSEMBLY

FOR PANEL MOUNT CONTROL

To assemble the Throttle Assembly, push the black plastic knob in all the way, then pull it out until the detent

ball clicks into the second notch. If the Throttle Assembly does not do this see adjustments below. The knob

will be pulled out approximately 1-3/8” when in the second notch. In this position the spring lockwasher and the

hex nut will slide past the detent ball. Place the conduit through the slot in the handle panel (see fig. 2) and

push the unit (see fig. 3) in until it seats as shown (see fig. 1). Secure with the spring lockwasher and hex nut.
