1598173 Accelerator Pedal | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

A genuine accelerator pedal for a compatible legacy Volvo Penta mechanical throttle installation. The pedal provides the operator input used to move the throttle linkage or control cable and regulate engine speed. Pedal mounting, linkage geometry, cable travel and engine application are installation-specific. The product or chassis serial record must be checked before replacement.

⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta operator-control component
• Designed for a mechanical throttle or speed-control linkage
• Provides progressive engine-speed input
• Suitable for replacement of worn or damaged pedal hardware
• Requires linkage and mounting compatibility confirmation

📋 Kit Contents

• 1 × mechanical accelerator pedal - Part Number: 1598173

🔌 Function

The pedal converts operator foot movement into controlled throttle-linkage or cable travel, allowing engine speed to be increased, held and returned toward idle.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Pedal binds, sticks or does not return smoothly
• Excessive free play before engine speed changes
• Pedal, pivot or mounting points are cracked or worn
• Throttle travel is incomplete
• Engine speed changes erratically with pedal movement
• Linkage repeatedly disconnects or misaligns

🛠️ Service Notes

• This is a mechanical pedal for a cable or linkage throttle, not an electronic sender — there is no connector or calibration step involved, unlike other pedals in this range
• Check cable travel and the idle-return geometry against the linkage before fitting, since mounting and travel are specific to the installation
• Confirm the pivot and return-spring condition at the same time — a pedal that will not return cleanly to idle is often the spring or pivot, not the pedal casting

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part

• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
