OPERATOR TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS
IMPORTANT: Test operation of emergency
stop switch at each outing. Refer to EMERGEN-
CY STOP SWITCH TEST. If outboard does not
stop, return control to dealer for repair.
Check throttle friction. When properly adjusted,
control lever should have low friction to allow
easy movement in FORWARD throttle range,
and not allow vibration to change throttle setting.
Refer to Control Lever Friction Adjustment.
ON-WATER TEST
Secure boat to dock to prevent motion. Attach
lanyard to key switch. Place control lever in
NEUTRAL position. If needed, use fast idle lever.
Turn key ON. Warning horn should sound
momentarily as self-test. Turn key to START.
Release key as soon as outboard starts. Push in
on key for enrichment function if outboard is
equipped. Do not turn key to START while
outboard is running. Refer to outboard's
operator's guide.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 2500 RPM in
NEUTRAL during warm-up.
With fast idle lever all the way down, check shift
operation. Check that motor shifts to FORWARD
when control is shifted to FORWARD, and shifts
to REVERSE when control is shifted to
REVERSE.
Check that remote control operates freely and
equal friction is felt in FORWARD and REVERSE
throttle range of control lever.
