Operation 3-7
Shifting / Running
The throttle lever is located to the right of the driver. When the throttle is vertical, it is in
the “NEUTRAL” position.
Located at the base of the throttle you will find the shift lock knob. Pulling outward on this
knob disengages the transmission, thereby allowing for use of the throttle without engaging
the transmission. This is used for warm-up of the engine in neutral. Be sure to position the
throttle vertically (in neutral) before re-engaging the transmission by depressing the knob.
Figure 3-6. Throttle Positions
When engaging the transmission from neutral to either forward or reverse, you must pull
up on the safety collar located directly below the throttle lever knob.
For more information regarding the safe operation and
maintenance of the throttle control, refer to the separate
instructions located in the information packet shipped with
your boat.
