WARNING
Before starting the engine, check the
operation of each engine's throttle/
shift lever. It should move smoothly
through the full range of operation.
Otherwise, there could be loss of
control and an accident.
A separate lever for each engine con-
trols both throttle and shifting. In normal
operation, the levers are moved togeth-
er. Moving the levers forward from
Neutral shifts into the Forward position
and then, as the lever is moved farther,
accelerates the engines for more thrust.
Moving the levers back from Neutral
shifts into the Reverse position and
then, as the lever is moved farther,
accelerates the engines for more thrust.
The lever must be moved about 35°
from Neutral before Forward or Reverse
engages and the engine starts to accel-
erate.
