Controls - Volvo Penta D2 Series Operator's Manual

Controls

The shift function and engine speed control are combined in one lever. If necessary the shift function can be eas-
ily disengaged so that only the engine speed (rpm) is affected by the lever. The control lever has an adjustable
friction brake.
NOTE! A neutral position switch is available as an accessory, this will only permit the engine to be started with
the drive/reverse gear disengaged.

Disengaging the shift function
●
T
●
Move lever () to the neutral position (N).
Press in button (), move the lever slightly forward
and release the button.
The shift function is now disengaged and the
lever affects only engine speed. When the lever is
moved back to the neutral position it will automati-
cally re-engage.
IMPORTANT! Take care not to engage the
drive/reverse gear by mistake.
Adjusting the friction brake
The friction brake only affects the engine speed con-
trol movements.
Lift the cover over the control. For side-mounted
●
controls the lever must first be removed.
Set the lever to the half-open throttle/reverse posi-
●
tion.
Adjust the friction brake. Turning the screw clock-
●
wise (+) makes the lever movement stiffer, while
turning counterclockwise (–) makes it easier to
move the lever.
Reinstall the cover and lever.
