While pulling the neutral release
lever, move the control lever 30°
toward the FORWARD or
REVERSE position to engage the
clutch.
The control lever might not move
unless the neutral release lever is
lifted fully.
Set the fast idle lever in the fully
closed throttle position, or the
control lever does not operate.
Moving the control lever further
opens the throttle and the engine
speed increases.
Be sure that the tilt lever is in the
RUN (LOCK) position.
