The Rotary 16189 Throttle Cable is a commercial-grade aftermarket replacement throttle control cable engineered for Scag walk-behind lawn mowers. Designed as a direct substitute for Scag OEM part number 48946 (also cross-referenced as S48946 or Oregon 60-027), this cable is specifically optimized for models configured with twin-cylinder engines, such as those from Kawasaki, Briggs & Stratton, and Kohler.

Technical Specifications

  • Part Number: Rotary 16189

  • Replaces OEM: Scag 48946, S48946

  • Conduit Length: 54-1/2 inches

  • Inner Wire Length: 57-1/2 inches

  • Wire Size: 0.0600 inches in diameter

  • Construction: Heavy-duty, weather-protected outer conduit shielding a durable, high-tensile inner steel wire designed to minimize binding and stretching.

Model Compatibility

This throttle control assembly is widely compatible across a vast lineup of Scag SW, SWM, SWU, and SWZ series commercial walk-behind mowers spanning 32-inch to 61-inch deck capacities. It fits specific configurations such as:

  • Scag SW Series: SW-14KA, SW-16BV, SW-17KA, SW-18BV, SW32-13KA, SW32-15KAI, SW36A-16FS, SW48-14KA, SW48A-17KA, SW48V-16KAI, and SW52V-18FS.

  • Scag SWZ Series: SWZ-14KA, SWZ-16BV, SWZ-17KAI, SWZ-18FS, SWZ-21KAE, SWZ36A-15KA, and SWZ48-17KA.

  • Scag SWM & SWU Series: SWM-52V, SWM-61V, SWU48-17KA, and SWU48A-17KA.

Key Performance Benefits

  • Twin-Cylinder Optimization: Engineered with the extra length and robust wire core needed to route properly around bulkier twin-cylinder engine blocks without crimping.

  • Precision RPM Management: Smoothly translates lever adjustments to the engine governor for crisp, immediate acceleration and reliable idle control under varying mowing loads.

  • Commercial Infrastructure: Built out of industrial-grade materials to hold up against continuous commercial usage, preventing frequent machine downtime and expensive throttle lever repairs.
