Throttle friction adjuster

A friction device provides adjustable resis-
tance to movement of the throttle grip or the
remote control lever, and can be set accord-
ing to operator preference.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster
clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the
adjuster counterclockwise. WARNING! Do
not overtighten the friction adjuster. If
there is too much resistance, it could be
difficult to move the remote control lever
or throttle grip, which could result in an
accident.

When constant speed is desired, tighten the
adjuster to maintain the desired throttle set-
ting.

Engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and clip

The clip must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord
should be attached to a secure place on the
operator's clothing, or arm or leg. Should the
operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to
the engine. This will prevent the boat from
running away under power. WARNING! At-
tach the engine shut-off cord to a secure
place on your clothing, or your arm or leg
while operating. Do not attach the cord to
clothing that could tear loose. Do not rou-
te the cord where it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning. Avoid
accidentally pulling the cord during nor-
mal operation. Loss of engine power
means the loss of most steering control.

Also, without engine power, the boat
could slow rapidly. This could cause peo-
ple and objects in the boat to be thrown
forward.
