700 - 1.2 Throttle Pedal

The following adjustments can be made to the throttle pedal:

-

Lateral position of the pedal plate

Spring preload

Damping

a) Lateral Position of Pedal Plate

There are two positions. The pedal in the left hand image shows the standard

position. The plate can be moved 10 mm to the right to create more space

between the throttle and brake pedal.

b) Spring Preload

A long compression spring is installed in the throttle pedal. At one end, a

plunger pushes the pedal against the foot, at the other end there is a threaded

stud with a nut.

By turning the nut (16 mm AF spanner), the threaded stud is moved and the

spring preload changed. The basic setting is shown in the following image. The

pin in the slot shows the actual setting. The pin at the top means the minimum

spring preload is set. The pin at the bottom means the maximum spring preload

is set.

c) Damping

The damper of the throttle pedal is located below the cover on the left of the

gas spring used for moving the sledge.

The damping is adjustable. The standard setting is completely soft. Changing

the damping is made by rotating the cylinder relative to the piston rod. When

fitted, the damping is adjusted as follows:

-

Remove the pedal unit cover (4 bolts)

Disconnect the spherical bearing of the gas spring used to adjust the

sledge

-

Remove the rear mounting bolt of the damper

-

Swing the damper to the right (see Image 27)

Rotate the damper clockwise --> stiffer damping

Rotate the damper anticlockwise --> softer damping

While rotating pull lightly on the cylinder so that the adjustment gears engage

in the piston.

When the resistance increases noticeable while rotating stop the adjustment!

Attention

Do not use force to rotate otherwise the adjuster segment in the damper can be

damaged!

Attention

The driver’s foot can get tired if the damper is set too hard.

-

Remount the damper using the bolt

To check the pedal force required press the pedal at different speeds to

simulate throttle application

-

Remount the gas spring used to adjust the sledge position

Refit the pedal unit cover (4 bolts)

Sit in the driver’s seat and check the force required to press the throttle

pedal. Do this at different speeds to simulate throttle application.
