Digital electronic control-alert indicator
The digital electronic control-alert indicator lights when trou-
ble occurs in the connection between the digital electronic
control and outboard motor. Consult your Yamaha dealer for
details.

Control lever
Moving the lever forward from the neutral position engages
forward gear. Pulling the lever back from neutral engages re-
verse. The engine will continue to run at idle until the lever is
moved 22.5° (a detent can be felt). Moving the lever farther
opens the throttle, and the engine will begin to accelerate.
Digital electronic control for twin type has the function to au-
tomatically synchronize both engine speeds.
Also digital electronic control for triple type has the function
to automatically synchronize the engine speeds of the center
engine and starboard side engine, adapting the port side en-
gine speed.
The functions of the control lever for triple-type digital elec-
tronic control are as follows.
Operate the port side engine using the port side control le-
ver.
The center engine runs at the average speed of port side
and starboard side engines’ speeds.
Operate the starboard side engine using the starboard
side control lever.

Free throttle switch
In neutral, keep this switch pressed, move the control lever
forward, and release the switch after the digital electronic
control-active indicator starts blinking. While the indicator
blinks, you can open or close the throttle. This can also be
done when the control lever is set in reverse.
The free throttle switch can only be used when the control
lever is in the neutral position.
During operation the digital electronic control-active indi-
cator changes from continuously lit to blinking. When the
indicator starts blinking, the throttle begins to open after
the control lever is moved at least 22.5°.
After using the free throttle switch, return the control lever
to the neutral position. The free throttle switch will return
automatically to its set position. The digital electronic con-
trol-active indicator will change from blinking to continu-
ously lit and the digital electronic control will then engage
forward and reverse normally.

Throttle friction adjuster
A friction device provides adjustable resistance to move-
ment of the control lever, and can be set according to oper-
ator preference.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clockwise. To de-
crease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise.
WARNING
EWM01771
If the friction is too small, the control lever could move
freely and cause an accident.
Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If there is too
much resistance, it could be difficult to move the con-
trol lever, which could result in an accident.
