Fast Idle Lever

Use of the fast idle lever is not required on all
models. Refer to operator's guide for outboard.
The fast idle lever can be used to open throttle
without shifting into gear. With control handle in
NEUTRAL, lift fast idle lever to open throttle for
starting and warm-up. The control is locked in
NEUTRAL when fast idle lever is raised to
prevent shifting into gear at higher than IDLE
RPM. The control handle is unlocked when fast
idle lever is all the way down.
