Shift Cable Adjustment
IMPORTANT: The shift cable MUST BE properly adjusted. The shift cable is adjusted
so that the reverse gate is not pre-loaded against either the forward or reverse stop.
Pre-load in either position may cause failure of the stop and/or premature wear of the
shift cable or control box components. It may also cause stiffness of the throttle
control.
1. Thread the cable barrel onto the shift cable.
