Throttle friction adjuster

A friction device provides adjustable resis-
tance to movement of the throttle grip or the
remote control lever, and can be set accord-
ing to operator preference.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster
clockwise. WARNING! Do not overtighten
the friction adjuster. If there is too much
15
resistance, it could be difficult to move the
remote control lever or throttle grip, which
could result in an accident.
To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster
counterclockwise.
When constant speed is desired, tighten the
adjuster to maintain the desired throttle set-
ting.

Engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and
clip
The clip must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord
should be attached to a secure place on the
operator's clothing, or arm or leg. Should the
operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to
the engine. This will prevent the boat from
running away under power. WARNING! At-
tach the engine shut-off cord to a secure
place on your clothing, or your arm or leg
while operating. Do not attach the cord to
clothing that could tear loose. Do not route
the cord where it could become entangled,
preventing it from functioning. Avoid acci-
dentally pulling the cord during normal
operation. Loss of engine power means
the loss of most steering control. Also,
without engine power, the boat could slow
rapidly. This could cause people and ob-
jects in the boat to be thrown forward.
