4. Throttle friction adjuster
The throttle friction adjuster is on the tiller handle, which provides adjustable resistance to movement
of the throttle grip, and can be set according to operator preference. To increase resistance, turn the
adjuster clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster
counterclockwise. When constant speed is desired, tighten
the adjuster to maintain the desired throttle setting.
WARNING:
z
Do not over-tighten the friction adjuster. If there is too
much resistance, it could be difficult to move throttle lever
or grip, which could result in an accident.
