MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Throttle Cable Adjustment (RANGER TM)

If the proper freeplay cannot be obtained with the throttle block

adjuster, adjust the cable at the carburetor using the following

procedure.
1. Remove the seat and loosen the

clamp screw (1) and the throttle

cable adjustment screw (2).

2. Adjust the cable as needed.

3. Tighten both screws and

reinstall the seat.

4. Check for proper throttle

operation and correct freeplay

in all steering wheel positions.

Carburetor/Engine Idle RPM Adjustment

The idle speed adjustment should be performed as outlined in the

Periodic Maintenance Schedule, or whenever the idle speed is changed.

Recommended engine idle RPM for the RANGER 2x4, 4x4 and 6x6 is

1200 +/- 200. Recommended engine idle RPM for the RANGER TM is

1000 +/- 100.
If the engine idle speed is not satisfactory,

and all other conditions are favorable, the

carburetor can be adjusted with the

following procedure.
1. Engage the parking brake and place

the gear shift lever in the neutral

position.

2. Warm up the engine by running the

vehicle approximately five minutes.

3. Remove the the seat and locate the

idle adjust screw (1).

4. Place the transmission in gear (with

park brake engaged).

5. Turn the carburetor idle adjust screw

in or out until the desired idle RPM is

reached. Turn the screw in (clockwise)

to raise RPM. Turn the screw out

(counterclockwise) to lower RPM.

Cylinder Head/Cylinder Base Fastener Torque

fasteners for proper torque at the first service or after 25 hours.
