Using the Reactor 40 Kicker Throttle Actuator Installation
Instructions , complete and test the throttle actuator
installation.
Assembling the Throttle Linkage
The throttle linkage allows the throttle cable from the actuator to
pull open the throttle lever on the motor.
1
Using the parts provided in this adapter kit, place the throttle
linkage bracket
on the tapered end of the throttle linkage
arm
.
2
Using the bolt and nut provided in this adapter kit, fasten the
bracket to the arm.
3
Tighten the nut so the bracket is securely connected to the
arm, but loose enough so the bracket moves freely.
Connecting the Throttle Actuator Cable to the Throttle
Linkage
The throttle linkage is designed to hold the cable from the
throttle actuator securely. Because of the design, you must
connect the throttle actuator cable to the throttle linkage before
you secure the parts to the motor.

Place the round end of the throttle actuator cable into the
hole on the end of the throttle linkage.
3
Rotate the cable so it feeds through the slot on the end of the
linkage.

spring drops down and falls off of the throttle shaft, it can
unwind and may be difficult to reinstall.
