CONTROL LEVER
Moving the control lever 30° from N
(neutral) selects the gear, and further
movement increases engine speed.
The control lever automatically locks
itself in the N (neutral) position. To
move the lever out of the N (neutral)
position, you must squeeze the
neutral release lever on the underside
of the lever handle.

A friction adjuster near the base of
the control lever adjusts the operating
resistance of the control lever. Refer
to p. 58.
Less friction allows easier control
lever movement. More friction helps
to hold a steady throttle setting while
cruising.
