Controls
This section describes the controls Volvo Penta sells
for your engine. Contact your dealer if your boat is
equipped with controls other than those described
here, and you feel uncertain about their function.
Single Lever Control
Maneuvering
A single-lever control operates both gearshift and
throttle functions with the same lever.
The engine can only be started with the control lever
in the neutral position.
N = Neutral position. Reverse gear/drive disengaged
and engine at idle.
F = Reverse gear/drive engaged for forward motion.
R = Reverse gear/drive engaged for rearward
motion.
T = Engine rpm control (throttle).
Disconnecting the gearshift function
The gearshift function can be disconnected so that the
control lever only operates the throttle.
1 Put the control lever in neutral (N).
2 Depress the neutral button (N) and keep it
depressed at the same time as the lever is moved
forwards to the gearshift position (F).
3 Release the neutral button. The green indicator will
flash as confirmation that the gearshift function is
disconnected and the that lever will only affect
engine revolutions.
The gear shift function is reconnected automatically
when the lever is returned to the neutral position. This
is confirmed by the green indicator shining continu-
ously.
CAUTION!
Take care not to engage the drive by mistake.
