Controls

Friction Brake

The remote control has a friction brake, which can be adjusted as necessary, to provide lighter or heavier lever
action. If you are using a Volvo Penta shift control and you wish to make adjustments to the friction brake, follow
the instructions below to make the necessary changes.
NOTICE! Each manufacturer has a particular method for making adjustments to the friction brake. For specific
directions on how to adjust a non-Volvo Penta friction brake, please refer to your manufacturer's manual.
NOTICE! The brake must only be adjusted when the control lever is in the throttle range. Do not adjust the friction
with the control in neutral.
