Single lever control

Manoeuvring
Single lever control operates shifting and engine speed
T
from the same lever (1).
N = Neutral position (reverse disengaged and engine
idling).
F = Reverse gear engaged for moving forwards.
R = Reverse gear engaged for moving backward.
= Engine speed control.
A neutral position switch is available as an accessory that
allows the engine to be started only when the reverse gear
is disengaged.
Disengaging the shifting function
The shifting function can easily be disengaged so that the
lever only affects the engine speed.
1. Put the lever (1) in neutral position (N).
2. Press the button (2) while moving the lever forward.
3. Release the button. The lever now affects the engine
speed only.
The disengagement will cease automatically when the le-
ver is moved back to neutral position.
IMPORTANT! Take care not to engage the reverse
gear unintentionally.
