Throttle friction adjuster

tance to movement of the throttle grip or the
remote control lever, and can be set accord-
ing to operator preference.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster
clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the
adjuster counterclockwise.

WARNING
Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If
there is too much resistance, it could be
difficult to move the remote control lever
or throttle grip, which could result in an
accident.

When constant speed is desired, tighten the
adjuster to maintain the desired throttle set-
ting.

Engine shut-off switch

The clip must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord
should be attached to a secure place on the
operator's clothing, or arm or leg. Should the
operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to
the engine. This will prevent the boat from
running away under power.

WARNING
Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
G
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating.
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
G
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
G
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power, the
boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to
be thrown forward.
