Throttle Friction Adjusting Screw
A friction device in the remote control box
provides adjustable resistance to move-
ment of the remote control lever, and can
be set according to operator preference.
An adjusting screw is located on the front
of the remote control box.
w
Do not overtighten the friction adjusting
screw. If there is too much resistance, it
may be difficult to move the lever, which
could result in an accident.
