Steering friction adjuster
A friction device provides adjustable resis-
tance to the steering mechanism, and can be
set according to operator preference. An ad-
juster lever is located on the bottom of the
tiller handle bracket.
To increase resistance, turn the lever to the
port side “A”.
To decrease resistance, turn the lever to the
starboard side “B”.
WARNING
EWM00040
Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If
there is too much resistance, it could be
difficult to steer, which could result in an
accident.
If the resistance does not increase even when
the lever is turned to the port side “A”, make
sure that the nut is tightened to the specified
torque.
TIP:
●
Steering movement is blocked when the
adjuster lever is set to the “A” position.
●
Check the tiller handle for smooth move-
ment when the lever is turned to the star-
board side “B”.
●
Do not apply lubricants such as grease to
the friction areas of the steering friction ad-
juster.
