KICKDOWN Cable

NOTE: Depress accelerator pedal. DO NOT turn throttle pulley by hand or adjustment will be incorrect.

On 240, 740 and 940, fully depress accelerator pedal. At full throttle, distance between cable stop and cable casing should be 1.98-2.07" (50.4-52.6 mm). See Fig 1 . On 960, adjust cable until it is just pulled gently tight. Adjust kickdown cable if it is not within specification.
