6. OPERATION
For the first 10 hours of operation, run the outboard motor at low speed,
and avoid abrupt operation of the throttle.
1. Gear Shifting
The gearshift lever has 3 positions: FORWARD, NEUTRAL, and REVERSE.
An indicator at the base of the gear shift lever aligns with letters F, N, or R
on the engine case to show the gear that has been selected.
Turn the throttle grip to SHIFT to decrease engine speed before moving the
gear shift lever.
CAUTION: When operating in reverse, proceed with caution to avoid hit-
ting any underwater obstruction with the propeller.
NOTE: The throttle mechanism is designed to limit throttle opening in
REVERSE and NEUTRAL. The throttle can be opened to FAST only in FOR-
WARD gear.
