Throttle Cable must be free of load (NO LOAD) when throttle lever is in 

the idle position to prevent hard shifting.

NOTICE

STEP 1. 

Make sure the Control is in 

NEUTRAL DETENT.

STEP 2. 

The Engine Throttle Lever should rest lightly against the “Idle 

Stop” on the carburetor.

STEP 3. 

Connect the Throttle Cable to the Engine Throttle Lever.

STEP 4. 

Before connecting the shift lever to transmission lever, put 

both the control lever and the transmission lever into forward gear 

position. Adjust the cable end to the position where it easily slides onto 

transmission lever. 

STEP 5. 

If using 3300/33C cables, tighten all jamb nuts 

against adaptors. 

Please Note: This figure does not repre-

sent any particular engine.

SECTION 5: ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. 

This control is provided with a Neutral Safety Switch. This switch is 

used to prevent the engine from starting in gear.

Use a battery-powered test light or test meter to check continuity.

NOTICE

STEP 1. 

With the Control in NEUTRAL, connect one wire of the tester 

to the common terminal, and one wire to the “NO” (Normally Open) 

Terminal. The test light MUST light.

STEP 2. 

Connect the neutral safety switch between the ignition switch 

(start lead) and the starter solenoid.

Use a multimeter or continuity tester to make sure that there is electrical 

continuity only when the control is in neutral position. When the control is 

in forward or reverse gear there must not be electrical continuity. The 

multimeter or tester should show an open circuit.

 

CAUTION

NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. 

TRIM AND TILT. 

SECTION 4: SHIFT & THROTTLE CABLE 

                    CONNECTION-ENGINE END. 

The throttle cable must be disconnected from the motor before making 

motor idle adjustments. Adjustment of the motor idle while the throttle 

cable is connected to the motor may cause jamming action against the 

idle stop. As a result, the control may not function properly and damage 

to the control, the cable and/or the motor may occur.

 

CAUTION
