ENGINE SYSTEMS
Do not attempt to service any engine or drive component without being
totally familiar with the safe and proper service procedures. Certain
moving parts are exposed and can be dangerous.
ENGINE WARRANTY
A warranty registration card is included with all engine manuals and should be completed and returned to the engine manufacturer as soon
as possible.
THROTTLE/SHIFT CONTROL
The engines throttle/shift functions are located at the helm station. Your new Parker uses two types of control boxes. All models use a binnacle
/ top mount control box. Boats equipped with 2nd station may use Morse Twin S Controls at both main helm station and the 2nd station.
NEUTRAL SAFETY
Your Yamaha powered Parker contains a neutral safety switch which prevents the engine from being started in gear. When starting your engine
the control lever must be placed in the neutral/middle position. When functioning properly, this mechanism does not allow the engine to start
when the control is not in the neutral position.
SHIFT FUNCTION
After your engine is started simply move the control lever in to the forward detent position. To place
the engine into reverse move the control lever backwards to the reverse detent location. Remember
that propellers are designed for maximum forward thrust so reverse thrust will not be as efficient. Boats
equipped with Morse Twin S Controls have seperate throttle and shift levers. Consult your dealer for proper
instructions.
THROTTLE FUNCTION
Forward Throttle:
To engage the throttle mechanism while in forward gear position continue to move the
lever forward past the detent in a controlled motion. This motion will begin to increase engine RPM which
will cause the boat to move forward. (See shift function above for Morse Twin S.)
DANGER
DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES! EXHAUST FUMES MAY CONTAIN
CARBON MONOXIDE, A DANEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL GAS.
