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.
NOTE:
●
Steering movement is blocked when the
adjuster lever is set to the “A” position.
