EATURES
Before starting the engine, always
check the operation of each throttle
lever. It should move smoothly
through its full range of operation.
Otherwise, there could be loss of
control and an accident.
A separate throttle lever controls each
engine. In normal operation the throttle
levers are moved together. Moving the
throttle levers forward increases engine
speed. Move both throttles to the idle
position before using the shift lever.
