STEERING TENSION ADJUSTMENT

The steering on your outboard motor should be
smooth and not too tight. Adjust the steering
tension so that there is only a slight resistance
to steering movement. To increase the steering
tension, turn the steering tension adjuster A
clockwise. To decrease the steering tension,
turn the steering tension adjuster counterclock-
wise.

THROTTLE TENSION ADJUSTMENT

The tension of the throttle control grip can be
adjusted according to your preference. To
increase the tension, turn the throttle tension
adjuster A clockwise. To decrease the tension,
turn the adjuster counterclockwise.

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

The idle speed of your outboard motor has
been set by your dealer. If it is necessary to
adjust the idle speed, use the following proce-
dure:
1. Warm up the engine for about 5 minutes.
2. Make sure that the motor is in "NEUTRAL"
and the throttle control grip is fully closed.
3. Turn the idle adjustment screw A clockwise
to increase idle speed or counterclockwise
to decrease idle speed.
