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.
