Control Cable Adjustment
~
WARNING
~
The trunnions on both remote control
cables must be adjusted properly or oper-
ator may lose control of direction and
engine speed.
The remote control cable trunnion provides
adjustment for the throttle cable and the shift
cable . Adjust by turning the trunnion nut.
Adjust the shift trunnion. The shift lever and gear-
case must be in NEUTRAL when the remote con-
trol handle is in NEUTRAL.
Adjust the throttle trunnion. The throttle lever must
be at extreme slow speed position and against the
IDLE stop screw when the remote control is in
extreme slow speed position.
Check cable adjustment:
• If throttle cable is too loose, idle speed will be
high and/or inconsistent.
• If throttle cable adjustment is too tight, control
effort will be high when shifting in and out of
gear.
IMPORTANT:
Inspect the installation to ensure
the remote control cables are attached to the
proper engine levers. Advance the fast idle lever
to the START position. If correctly attached, the
throttle cable and throttle lever on outboard will
move.
