Controls
Tiller handle models:
●
Turn the tiller handle fully to the left and
right to make sure operation is smooth.
●
Turn the throttle grip from the fully closed to
the fully open position. Make sure that it
turns smoothly and that it completely re-
turns to the fully closed position.
●
Look for loose or damaged connections of
the throttle and shift cables under the en-
gine cowling.
Remote control models:
●
Turn the steering wheel full-right and full-
left. Make sure operation is smooth and un-
restricted 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.
