Throttle Control Conversion
The standard engine has a manual throttle control. To operate the manual throttle
control, install a remote throttle control, or convert to a fixed speed. Refer to the
instructions that follow.
NOTE: The engine speed must be correct as specified by the equipment
manufacturer's performance specifications. Contact a Briggs & Stratton Authorized
Service Dealer for assistance.

2.
Remove the spring (S, Figure 8).
3.
Use a 10 mm wrench and loosen the nut (P, Figure 3) ½ switch the throttle control /
®
TransportGuard
lever (A).
4.
Install the Z-fitting of the solid wire cable (Q, Figure 8) to one of the small holes in
the bellcrank (R).
5.
Loosen the screw (I, Figure 8). Attach the cable sleeve (N) below the cable clamp
(M), and tighten the screw (I).
6.
Examine the operation of the remote throttle control. Move the throttle control from
slow to fast 2-3 times. Make sure that remote throttle control and the cable wire (L,
Figure 8) moves freely. Adjust the nut (P, Figure 3) as required for the specified
position.

4.
Install the Z-fitting of the solid wire cable (L, Figure 10) to the small hole (S) in the
throttle control lever (A).
5.
Loosen the screw (I, Figure 10). Attach the cable sleeve (N) under the clamp (M)
and tighten the screw (I).
6.
Check the operation of the remote throttle control. Move the remote throttle control
from slow to fast 2-3 times. Make sure that the remote throttle control and the
cable (L, Figure 10) moves freely. Adjust the nut (P, Figure 3) as necessary for the
specified position.
Right Direction
To install a remote throttle control from the right direction, a cable mounting bracket
(U, Figure 11) is required. Refer to the Specifications and Service Parts section for
the part number. To purchase a cable mounting bracket, contact a Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Service Dealer.
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard
2.
Remove the spring (S, Figure 3).

5.
Remove the bolt (T, Figure 11). Install the cable mounting bracket (U) as shown.
Attach the cable mounting bracket (U) with the bolt (T). Tighten the bolt (T) to 30lb-
in (3,4 Nm). See Specifications and Service Parts section.
6.
Loosen the screw (I, Figure 11). Attach the cable sleeve (N) under the clamp (M)

Fixed Engine Speed (No Throttle Control Cable)
When converted to a Fixed Engine Speed, a throttle control cable is not installed and
there is no speed selection. FAST is the only engine speed.
1.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard® lever (A, Figure 12) to the OFF
position.
2.
Remove the spring (S, Figure 12).
3.
Move the throttle control / TransportGuard
position.
