If there are not enough threads on the shift cable
to allow the adjustment, or if the gearcase does
not shift fully into FORWARD or REVERSE, refer
to
SHIFT ROD ADJUSTMENT on p. 265 and
Shift Linkage Adjustment on p. 230.
Pull firmly on throttle cable casing to remove
backlash. With engine throttle cam against stop,
place the cable trunnion into the upper anchor
pocket and adjust the trunnion nut so that the cas-
ing fits onto the throttle lever pin.
Move control handle to FORWARD and pull back
slowly to NEUTRAL. Make sure the engine throttle
lever is against the stop. If not, remove backlash
by adjusting cable trunnion nut.
Secure control cables to the throttle and shift lever
pins. For proper installation, review the following
steps:
•
Place washer on pin.
•
Position retainer clip with straight section on the
bottom and angled section on the top.
•
Use long noses pliers to insert straight section
of clip into linkage pin hole.
•
Push the clip towards the hole while lifting on
the curved end with the pliers.
•
Be sure retainer clip fully engages the pin.
•
Lock the retainer by moving the angled section
behind the straight section.
Make sure remote control provides accurate throt-
tle and shift operation. Then, install cable retainer
and torque screw 60 to 84 in. lbs. (7 to 9 N·m).
IMPORTANT:
After installation, make sure there
is enough clearance for all cables to avoid binding
or chafing through all engine steering and tilting
angles.
