Controls

The shift function and engine speed control are combined in one lever. If necessary the shift function can be

easily disengaged so that only the engine speed (rpm) is affected by the lever. The control lever has an adjust-

able friction brake. A neutral position switch is available as an accessory, this will only permit the engine to be

started with the drive/reverse gear disengaged.

Adjusting the friction brake

The friction brake only affects the engine speed control move-

ments.

● Lift the cover over the control. For side-mounted controls the

lever must first be removed.

● Set the lever to the half-open throttle/reverse position.

● Adjust the friction brake. Turning the screw clockwise (+) makes

the lever movement stiffer, while turning counterclockwise (–)

makes it easier to move the lever.

● Reinstall the cover and lever.

Maneuvering

Shifting and engine speed are controlled with the same lever (1).

N = Neutral position. Drive/reverse gear disengaged.

F = Drive/reverse gear engaged for movement ahead.

R = Drive/reverse gear engaged for movement astern.

T = Engine speed control

Disengaging the shift function

Move lever (1) to the neutral position (N). Press in button (2), move

the lever slightly forward and release the button. The shift function

is now disengaged and the lever affects only engine speed.

When the lever is moved back to the neutral position it will auto-

matically re-engage.

IMPORTANT! Take care not to engage the drive/reverse gear

by mistake.
