FOOT PEDAL ADJUSTMENT
TO ADJUST FOOT PEDAL THROTTLE CABLE
1. Jack up unit so that all drive wheel are off the ground. (Use jack stands)
2. Start the engine, make certain that the hand throttle is in the idle position (1200 engine RPM).
3. Engine speed must increase as soon as the foot pedal begins to move in either direction. At the full
forward position, the engine RPM must be 3600 RPM ± 100.
4. Minor adjustment can be made by backing out (unscrewing) (Ref A) until you reach full engine RPM with
the foot pedal fully depressed in the forward position. Be sure to recheck after the nuts are fully tight-
ened.
5. Major adjustment needs to be made at (Ref B) by pulling the slack out of the cable. Loosen the screw in
the wire block that is clamped onto the end of the cable and sliding it up to the cable block that is
through the throttle plate. Do not let the throttle plate move to increase idle speed. Tighten the screw.
6. Test run to determine that there is no binding and that engine idle speed is 1200 RPM and that it is 3600
RPM at full forward position of the foot pedal.

FUNCTION OF PRO PEDAL
With Pro Pedal installed on all of our trap rakes there is no requirement to us the hand throttle in the majority
of applicaitons. It works in tandem with the hydraulic pump to ensure engine RPM with the stroke of the
hydraylic pump. To provide smoother starts and stops, conserve fuel due to the engine is running only at he
RPM required to perform the operation.
