F - 4 CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Periodic inspections of the controls, cables, and all con-
nections should be made. Signs of looseness, rust, cor-
rosion, wear, cable jacket cracks or other deterioration
require immediate system servicing. Replace all dam-
aged components.
Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts and con-
nections with a light, waterproof grease is in order. Cables
can be lubricated by positioning them to their fullest ex-
tension and applying light grease to the inner cable near
the jacket. Working the cables back and forth will distrib-
ute the grease in the inner cable. Reapply the grease if
necessary.
Lubrication should be performed as often as necessary
to keep the system operating smoothly. Cable manufac-
turers such as Teleflex and Morse often offer special tools
to make cable lubrication easier.
Cable and control adjustments may become necessary.
Adjustment screws in the control, on the cables and in
the linkage are provided.
DO NOT attempt control adjustments unless you
are familiar with servicing control systems ser-
vice procedures. Control misadjustment can
cause loss of control.
Other lubrication, adjustment and maintenance instruc-
tions are included in the information provided by the con-
trol manufacturer.
DO NOT shift into FORWARD or REVERSE un-
less engine is running. Damage to the shift sys-
tem could result from trying to shift without the
engine running. Carefully check function of all
control and engine systems before leaving the
dock.
2. To go FORWARD - Briskly move the shifter levers
forward. Once forward gear engagement is complete,
push throttle levers forward until desired speed is
achieved.
3. To go in REVERSE - Briskly move the shifter levers
rearward. Once rearward gear engagement is com-
plete, push throttle levers forward until desired speed
is achieved.
DO NOT shift from forward to reverse when the
boat is planing.
NOTICE
DO NOT shift if engine speed is above 800 RPM.
4. To go from FORWARD to REVERSE, or REVERSE
to FORWARD; always pause at NEUTRAL and al-
low engine speed to return to idle.
5. After shifting is completed, continue to move the
throttle levers slowly in the desired direction to in-
crease speed.
F - 3 NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH
Every control system has a neutral safety switch incor-
porated into it. This device prohibits the engine from be-
ing started while the shift lever is in any position other
than the neutral position. If the engine will not start, slight
movement of the control levers may be necessary to lo-
cate the neutral position and disengage the safety cutout
switch. Control or cable adjustments are required to cor-
rect this condition should it persist. See your Four Winns
dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments.
