Accelerator Pedal Installation; Accelerator Pedal Adjustment - Pioneer 1200 Maintenance Service Manual

ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLIES
8. Inspect the pivot support bearing (9), inside the spring retainer, for wear and replace if necessary.
9. Remove lock nut (26) from the accelerator pivot shaft.
10. Move the brake pedal slightly and then slide the spacer (24) toward end of accelerator pivot rod, releasing
the splined fit between the two. Rotate the spacer (24) and remove from the pivot rod (6).
11. Loosen, but do not remove, the four bolts (22) and lock nuts (15).
12. Slide the pivot rod (6) from the accelerator pivot rod supports (21), nylon spacer (20), and accelerator (1).
Remove both the pivot rod (6) and the accelerator pedal (1).
NOTE: The accelerator will release to the top side of the floorboard.
13. Inspect the accelerator pivot rod support bearings (21) and all parts for wear or damage and replace as
necessary (Figure 5-11, Page 5-8).

ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSTALLATION

NOTE: The following procedure will be easier with the help of an additional person.
1. If replaced, position the supports (21) on the vehicle frame and loosely install the four bolts (22), washers
(8), and lock nuts (15) and finger tighten (Figure 5-11, Page 5-8).
2. With another person, position the accelerator (1) through the floorboard and slide the accelerator pivot
rod (6) through the upper hole in the pedal, through the nylon spacer (20), and through the two pivot rod
supports (21).
3. Tighten bolts (22) to 75 in-lb (8.5 N·m).
4. Install spacer (24), aligning the splined parts, and tighten the nylon lock nut (26) to 18 ft-lb (24.5 N·m).
5. Insert bolt (4) through a washer (25) and through the lower hole in the pedal, then through the adjacent
slotted hole in the pivot rod (6). Attach the remaining washer (25) and nut (23). Finger tighten-nut. See
Accelerator Pedal Adjustment on page 5-5.
6. Insert pivot support bearing (9) into spring retainer (11) and onto the boss of the pivot rod plate.
7. Install the ball stud bolt (16) through the pivot rod (6) and pivot support bearing (9). Secure these parts
with nut (10) and tighten to 50 in-lb (5.5 N·m).
8. Install the accelerator rod assembly (17, 18 and 19).
9. Adjust the accelerator pedal and accelerator rod. See Accelerator Pedal Adjustment on page 5-5. See
following NOTE.
NOTE: For proper vehicle operation, it is important that the accelerator pedal, governor linkage, and throt-
tle adjustments are done correctly and in the proper sequence. See Engine Control Linkage,
Section 14, Page 14-5.
10. Connect the spark plug wire.
11. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) post first, and tighten terminals to 20 ft-lb (27 N·m). Coat termi-
nals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).

ACCELERATOR PEDAL ADJUSTMENT

See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
1. Measure the distance from the top of the accelerator pedal to the floorboard. If it is within the range of
5-3/4 inches ±1/4-inch (14.6 cm ± 6 mm) (Figure 5-7, Page 5-7), adjusting the accelerator pedal is not
necessary. Tighten the nylon locknut (23) to 26 ft-lb (35.3 N·m) (Figure 5-11, Page 5-8) and proceed to
step 7. If adjustment is necessary, proceed to step 2.
