Refer to the engine manual, included in the owner’s
packet, for additional information on control operation.
B. Fuel Injected Engines (EFI)
On fuel injected engines, starting the engine is much
easier and faster. It is not necessary to use the throttle
while in neutral to cold-start the engine. Simply turn the
key and allow the engine to warm up.
For additional information, refer to the section on “Start-
ing and Operation” in the engine manufacturer’s manual
included in the owner’s information packet.

NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH

Control systems usually incorporate neutral safety switch-
es within their design. This device prevents the engine
from being started while the shift lever is in any position
other than the neutral position. If the engine will not start,
slight movement of the shift lever may be necessary to
locate the neutral position and disengage the safety cut-
out switch. Control or cable adjustments are required to
correct this condition should it persist. See your
Four Winns® dealer for necessary control and cable ad-
justments.

CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Periodic inspections of the control, cables, and all con-
nections should be made. Signs of looseness, rust, cor-
rosion, wear, cable jacket cracks or other deterioration
require immediate system servicing. Replace all dam-
aged components.

Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts and con-
nections with a light, waterproof grease is in order. Cables
can be lubricated by positioning them to their fullest ex-
tension and applying light grease to the inner cable near
the jacket. Working the cables back and forth will distrib-
ute the grease in the inner cable. Reapply the grease if
necessary.
Lubrication should be performed as often as necessary
to keep the system operating smoothly. Cable manufac-
turers such as Teleflex®, OMC®, and Morse® often offer
special tools to make cable lubrication easier.
Cable and control adjustments may become necessary.
Adjustment screws in the control, on the cables and in
the linkage are provided.
DO NOT attempt control adjustments unless you
are familiar with control systems service proce-
dures. Control misadjustment can cause loss
of control.
Other lubrication, adjustment and maintenance instruc-
tions are provided by the control manufacturer and are
included in the owner’s information packet.
