Single lever control
Maneuvering
Shifting and engine speed are controlled with the
same lever (1).
N = Neutral position. Drive disengaged.
F = Drive engaged for movement ahead.
R = Drive engaged for movement astern.
T = Engine speed control
Disengaging the shift function
Move lever (1) to the neutral position (N).
Press in button (2), move the lever slightly for-
ward 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 posi-
tion it will automatically re-engage.
IMPORTANT! Take care not to engage the drive
by mistake.
Adjusting the friction brake
The friction brake only affects the engine speed con-
trol movements.
Lift the cover over the control. For side-mounted
controls the lever must first be removed.
Set the lever to the half-open throttle/reverse posi-
tion.
Adjust the friction brake. Turning the screw clock-
wise (+) makes the lever movement stiffer, while
turning counterclockwise (–) makes it easier to
move the lever.
Reinstall the cover and lever.
