To disengage the shift function:
1) Move lever (1) to the neutral position (N).
2) Press in button (2), press the gear shift release
lever and move the lever slightly forward and
release the button.
The shift function is now disengaged the lever only
effects engine speed. When the lever is moved back
to the neutral position it will automatically re-engage
the shift function. The shift function is then enabled.
C. Shifting and Control Speed
1. Move shift/throttle lever to the neutral idle position.
Placing the shift/throttle lever in the neutral detent
position will engage neutral start switch and allow
engine to start.
NOTICE
For additional information, refer to the section
on "Starting and Oper ation" in the engine
manu facturer's manual.
DO NOT shift into FORWARD or REVERSE
unless engine is running. Damage to the shift
system could result from trying to shift without
the engine running. Carefully check function of
all control and engine systems before leaving
the dock.
Control Systems - Section F
2. To go FORWARD - move the shift/throttle lever
forward. Once forward gear engagement is
complete, push shift/throttle lever forward until
desired speed is achieved.
3. To go in REVERSE - move the shift/throttle lever
rearward. Once rearward gear engagement is
complete, push shift/throttle lever rearward until
desired speed is achieved.
DO NOT shift from forward to reverse when
the boat is planing.
NOTICE
DO NOT shift if engine speed is above 800
RPM.
4. To go from FORWARD to REVERSE, or
REVERSE to FORWARD; always pause at
NEUTRAL and allow engine speed to return
to idle.
5. After shifting is completed, slowly push shift/
throttle lever forward/rearward until desired
speed is achieved.
Any time the boat is operated, be aware of
changes in shift system operation. A sudden
increase in shift effort of the shifter lever, or
other abnormal operation, indicates a possible
problem in the shift system. If this occurs, the
following precautions must be taken:
•
With engine running and boat securely tied
to the dock, shift drive into forward and
reverse to ensure there is gear engage-
ment.
•
When docking the boat, all docking maneu-
vers must be performed at slow speed.
Pay special attention to other boaters.
Passengers should be informed of potential
problems and precautions taken.
