WARNING
Before shifting, make sure there are no
swimmers or obstacles in the water near
you.
Warm up the engine before shifting into gear.
Until the engine is warm, the idle speed may
be higher than normal. The control lever of the
Digital electronic control can be operated
even at high engine speeds. However, gear
shifting will not work until the engine speed
has automatically decreased to a speed at
which actual gear shifting is possible. As a re-
sult, for quick gear shifting there could be a
time lag when the gear is shifted until the en-
gine speed has decreased sufficiently.
To shift out of neutral
1. Pull the neutral interlock trigger up (if
equipped).
