Gearshift/Throttle Control Lever
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
The emergency stop switch clip must be inserted in the emergency stop switch in order for the engine to start and run. The emergency stop switch lanyard must be attached securely to the operator or to the operator’s PFD (Personal Flotation Device).
When used as described, the emergency stop switch clip and emergency stop switch lanyard system stops the engine if the operator falls away from the controls. Gearshift/Throttle Control Lever The gearshift/throttle control lever(s) controls engine speed and selects F SINGLE TYPE (forward), N (neutral), or R (reverse) gears.
DUAL TYPE GEARSHIFT/ THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER
GEARSHIFT/THROTTLE CONTROL LEVERS
Moving the control lever 35° from N (neutral) selects the gear, and further movement increases engine speed.
A friction adjuster inside the control box adjusts the operating resistance of the control lever(s). Refer to p.64.
Less friction allows easier control lever movement. More friction helps to hold a steady throttle setting while cruising.
