The Volvo Penta single-lever control combines the
throttle and gear shift functions in one lever. When
starting, for example, the gear change function can
easily be switched off so only the engine speed is
affected by the lever. When manoeuvring the boat
backwards or forwards, the control mechanism makes
the engine speed drop to idling speed when the gears
are changed.
The control lever has an adjustable friction brake. A
neutral position switch which allows the engine to be
started only when reverse gear is not engaged is
available as an extra.
Manoeuvring takes place as follows:
Lever (1) for reverse gear/S-drive manoeuvres and
engine speed control.
Position N = neutral position.
From N to F – reverse gear engaged for forward
running.
From N to R – reverse gear engaged for reversing.
T = affects engine speed.
Disengaging the reverse gear from the control:
Place the lever (1) in the neutral position “N”. Press
the button (2), push the lever forwards slightly and
release the button. The lever will now only affect the
speed.
The lever automatically reconnects the reversing
function when it is moved back to the neutral position.
The speed can then be adjusted and forward/reverse
manoeuvres executed. Ensure that the reverse
gear/S-drive is not engaged unintentionally.
