Tiller Handle Features
•
A decal on the tiller handle provides quick reference for starting the engine.
• The friction knob allows the user to increase friction on the tiller throttle shaft, to hold the throttle at a desired speed, or
decrease friction to allow the throttle to automatically return to idle when the grip is released.
a - Quick reference decal
b - Shift lever
c - Throttle grip friction knob
• The shift lever has three positions to control engine operation: forward (F), neutral (N), and reverse (R). A shift detent helps
the operator locate the neutral position.
