Controls (mechanical)
The control lever on Volvo Penta controls has an ad-
justable friction brake. This allows the lever weighting
to be adapted to the personal needs of the owner.
Dual lever controls have individually adjustable friction
brakes for each lever.
Adjusting the friction brake
Single lever control
This brake is intended for controlling speed and is ad-
justed at half throttle with the reverse gear en-
gaged. The brake does not affect shifting.
1. Remove the cover over the control.
2. Adjust the friction by turning the screw (see fig-
ure).
Turning the screw clockwise (+) makes the lever
movement stiffer, while turning counterclockwise
(–) consequently makes it easier to move the le-
ver.
3. Reinstall the cover over the control.
Dual lever control
The brake is for the engine speed control.
Adjust the friction by turning the screw (see figure).
Turning the screw clockwise (+) makes the lever
movement stiffer, while turning counterclockwise (–)
consequently makes it easier to move the lever.

Adjusting the friction brake on dual lever controls
Adjusting the friction brake on NB dual controls
A brake can be adjusted by turning the red handle in order
to counteract the regulator power.
