Operation
40
●
Turn the steering wheel full-right and full-
left. Make sure operation is smooth and
unrestricted throughout the whole range
with no binding or excessive free play.
●
Operate the throttle levers several times to
make sure there is no hesitation in their
travel. Operation should be smooth over
the complete range of motion, and each le-
ver should return completely to the idle po-
sition.
●
Look for loose or damaged connections of
the throttle and shift cables under the en-
gine cowling.
