Controls

This section describes the controls Volvo Penta sells
for your engine. Contact your dealer if your boat is
equipped with controls other than those described
here, and you feel uncertain about their function.
Maneuvering
A single-lever control operates both gearshift and
throttle functions from the same lever.
The engine can only be started with the control lever
in the neutral position.
N = Neutral position. Reverse gear/drive
disengaged and engine at idle.
F = Reverse gear/drive engaged for movement
ahead.
R = Reverse gear/drive engaged for movement
astern.
T = Engine rpm control (throttle).
Disconnecting the gearshift function
The gearshift function can be disconnected so that the
control lever only operates the throttle.
1 Put the control lever in neutral (N).
2 Depress the neutral button (1), and keep it
depressed at the same time as the lever is
moved forward.
3 Release the neutral button, the shift function is
disengaged and the lever only influences engine
revolutions.
The gear shift function is reconnected automatically
when the lever is returned to the neutral position.
CAUTION!
Take care not to engage the gear by mistake.
