Throttle friction adjuster

A friction device provides adjustable
resistance to movement of the throttle
grip or the remote control lever, and
can be set according to operator prefer-
ence. To increase resistance, turn
the adjuster clockwise. To decrease
resistance, turn the adjuster counter-
clockwise.
WARNING
Do not overtighten the friction adjuster.
If there is too much resistance, it could
be difficult to move throttle lever or grip,
which could result in an accident.
