Maneuvering
Shifting and engine speed are controlled with the same lever (1).
T
N = Neutral position. Drive/reverse gear disengaged.
F = Drive/reverse gear engaged for movement ahead.
R = Drive/reverse gear engaged for movement astern.
T = Engine speed control
A neutral position switch is available as an accessory, this will only
permit the engine to be started with the drive/reverse gear
disengaged.

Disengaging the shift function

T
Move lever (1) to the neutral position (N). Press in button (2), move
the lever slightly forward and release the button. The shift function
is now disengaged and the lever affects only engine speed.
When the lever is moved back to the neutral position it will
automatically re-engage.
IMPORTANT! Take care not to engage the drive/reverse gear
by mistake.

Friction brake

The friction brake only affects the engine speed control
movements.
1. Lift the cover over the control. For side-mounted controls the
lever must first be removed.
2. Set the lever to the half-open throttle/reverse position.
3. Adjust the friction brake. Turning the screw clockwise (+) makes
the lever movement stiffer, while turning counterclockwise (–)
makes it easier to move the lever.
4. Reinstall the cover and lever.
