THROTTLE FRICTION
ADJUSTMENT
(for Tiller control model)

2

A friction device provides resistance to
movement of the throttle lever. This is
adjustable for operator preference. An
adjusting screw is located within the
aprons.

3/5

A friction device in the tiller handle pro-
vides resistance to movement of the
throttle grip. This is adjustable for oper-
ator preference. An adjusting
screw/knob is located within the steering
handle.

To increase the resistance:
Turn the adjusting screw/knob clock-
wise.

To decrease the resistance:
Turn the adjusting screw/knob counter-
clockwise.

When constant speed is desired, tighten
the adjusting screw/knob to maintain the
desired throttle setting.

w

Do not overtighten the friction adjusting
screw/knob. If there is too much resis-
tance, it may be difficult to move throt-
tle lever/grip, which could result in an
accident.
