Throttle Friction Adjusting Screw

A friction device in the remote control box
provides adjustable resistance to movement
of the remote control lever, and can be set
according to operator preference. An adjust-
ing screw is located on the front of the
remote control box.

w

Do not overtighten the friction adjusting
screw. If there is too much resistance, it
may be difficult to move the lever, which
could result in an accident.
