WARNING
COLLISION HAZARD
An overspeeding engine, from loss of throttle control, can cause collision re-
sulting in death or serious injury . Make sure all control systems are regularly
inspected and properly maintained .
Shifter/Throttle Control
This single-lever control operates both the gearshift and throttle . The control
can only be moved from the neutral position by lifting the safety ring under the
throttle handle . Moving the control forward from the NEUTRAL position will
advance the throttle FORWARD . Moving the control aft from the neutral position
will advance the throttle REVERSE .
To “rev” the engine without engaging the transmission from NEUTRAL, push in
the neutral throttle button and advance the throttle handle . To return to normal
operation, return the throttle to the NEUTRAL position .
IMPORTANT
The engine will only start in NEUTRAL. If engine does turn over and battery is
charged, make sure the throttle handle is in NEUTRAL and try again.

CAUTION
DO NOT
shift too quickly from FORWARD to REVERSE . Stay in NEUTRAL or idle
position until the boat has lost most of its headway before completing the shift
to REVERSE, or engine/transmission damage can occur .
Shifter/Throttle Control Handle: Shifts from NEUTRAL to FORWARD or RE-
VERSE and controls throttle position .
