Throttle Lever

The throttle lever controls both the throttle and the
transmission. The idle position (normally vertical) is the zero
throttle position and the neutral position for the transmission.
A safety ring (umbrella) keeps the lever from being
accidentally moved to engage the transmission.
To place the transmission into gear, with your hand placed
over the lever ball, pull up on the safety ring (umbrella) and
slowly push the lever into forward gear or slowly pull the
lever back into reverse gear.
Never shift the lever directly from the neutral (vertical) position
into a speed position.
- To prevent damage to the transmission always allow the
transmission time to engage before accelerating the
engine.
- Once the transmissions engaged, you may accelerate as
quickly as you like.
The Transmission Lockout button allows the transmission to
be disengaged while giving the throttle full operating range.
With the lever in the idle position (normally vertical) push the
button located at the bottom of the lever to disengage the
transmission. The throttle may then be operated in any open
position (forward of neutral or back of neutral upright
position). Return the throttle to idle position, and the
transmission lockout will automatically reengage the
transmission in neutral position.
