CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Gearshift/Throttle Control
Lever
The gearshift/throttle control lever(s)
controls engine speed and selects F
(forward), N (neutral), or R (reverse)
gears.
Moving the control lever 35° from N
(neutral) selects the gear, and further
movement increases engine speed.
A friction adjuster inside the control
box adjusts the operating resistance
of the control lever(s). Refer to p. 51.
Less friction allows easier control
lever movement. More friction helps
to hold a steady throttle setting while
cruising.
