Single lever control

Maneuvering
Shifting and engine speed are controlled with the same
lever (1).
N = Neutral position. Drive disengaged.
F = Drive engaged for movement ahead.
R = Drive engaged for movement astern.
T = Engine speed control
Disengaging the shift function
Move lever (1) to the neutral position (N).
Press in button (2), move the lever slightly forward
and release the button. The shift function is now
disengaged and the lever affects only engine speed.
When the lever is moved back to the neutral posi-
tion it will automatically re-engage.
IMPORTANT! Take care not to engage the drive
by mistake.
Adjusting the friction brake
The friction brake only affects the engine speed control
movements.
Lift the cover over the control. For side-mounted
controls the lever must first be removed.
Set the lever to the half-open throttle/reverse
position.
Adjust the friction brake. Turning the screw clock-
wise (+) makes the lever movement stiffer, while
turning counterclockwise (–) makes it easier to
move the lever.
Reinstall the cover and lever.
