Throttle Control Conversion
The standard engine has a manual throttle control. To install a remote throttle control or
to convert to a fixed speed, follow the appropriate instructions below.
Note: After installation, the engine speed may need to be adjusted to meet the
equipment manufacturer's performance specifications. Contact a Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.
Remote Throttle Control with Braided Wire Cable
A remote throttle control with a braided wire cable can be installed in either of two
directions; Cylinder Head Direction or Front Direction.
Cylinder Head Direction
See Figure: 3, 4
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard™ lever (A, Figure 3, 4) to the FAST
position.
2.
Hold the cable mounting nut (J, Figure 4) with a 10 mm wrench and loosen screw
(K).
3.
Install the cable wire (L, Figure 4) through the hole in the cable mounting nut (J)
and tighten screw (K). Make sure that the cable wire (L) does not extend more
than ½" (12.7 mm) past the hole.
4.
Loosen the screw (I, Figure 4). Secure the cable sleeve (N) under the cable
clamp (M) and tighten the screw (I).
5.
To check the operation of the remote throttle control, move the remote throttle
control from slow to fast a few times. The remote throttle control and the cable
wire (L, Figure 4) should move freely.
6.
Remove the control link (H, Figure 4).
Note: The throttle control / TransportGuard™ lever will now only have two positions:
STOP / OFF position and RUN position.
7.
Install the new ON / OFF TransportGuard™ label (O, Figure 3) over the existing
speed control label located on the trim panel (F).

See Figure: 3, 5, 6
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard™ lever (A, Figure 3, 5) to the FAST
position.
2.
Hold the cable mounting nut (J, Figure 5) with a 10 mm wrench and loosen screw
(K).
3.
Install the cable wire (L, Figure 5) through the hole in the cable mounting nut (J)
and tighten screw (K). Make sure that the cable wire (L) does not extend more
than ½" (12.7 mm) past the hole.
4.
Loosen the screw (I, Figure 5). Secure the cable sleeve (N) under the cable
clamp (M) and tighten the screw (I).
5.
To check the operation of the remote throttle control, move the remote throttle
control from slow to fast a few times. The remote throttle control and the cable
wire (L, Figure 5) should move freely.
6.

speed control label located on the trim panel (F).
Remote Throttle Control with Solid Wire Cable
A remote throttle control with a solid wire cable can be installed is any of four
directions; Cylinder Head Direction, Front Direction, Left Direction, or Right
Direction.
Cylinder Head Direction
See Figure: 7, 8
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard™ lever (A, Figure 7, 8) to the FAST
position.
2.
Remove the bolt (D, Figure 7) and nut (E). Remove the trim panel (F).
3.
Use a 10 mm wrench and loosen nut (P, Figure 7) ½ turn on the throttle control /
TransportGuard™ lever (A).
4.
Install the trim panel (F, Figure 7) and secure with nut (E) and bolt (D). Tighten
the nut (E) to 40 lb-in (4,5 Nm). Tighten the bolt (D) to 50 lb-in (5,6 Nm).
5.
Install the Z-fitting of the solid wire cable (Q, Figure 8) to either one of the small
holes in the bellcrank (R).
6.
Loosen the screw (I, Figure 8). Secure the cable sleeve (N) under the cable
clamp (M) and tighten the screw (I).
7.
To check the operation of the remote throttle control, move the remote throttle
control from slow to fast a few times. The remote throttle control and the solid
wire cable (L, Figure 8) should move freely.
