Adjusting the friction brake
The lever is fitted with a friction brake to allow adjust-
ment for easier or stiffer movement as required. The
friction brake only affects movement of the throttle con-
trol lever.
1 Stop the engine.
2 Move the control lever forward so that the groove
in the lever hub is accessible.
3 Remove the plug with the aid of a screwdriver.
4 Adjust the friction brake (wrench, 8 mm) by turning
the bolt clockwise (+) for stiffer lever movement,
and counterclockwise (–) for easier movement.
5 Reinstall the plug.
