•
T
rim/tilt switch ‑ Used to trim the drive during operation or raise the drive
for trailering, launching, beaching, or shallow water operation.
•
Throttle only button ‑ The throttle only button allows throttle
advancement without shifting the engine. The throttle only button
disengages the shifting mechanism from the control handle. The throttle
only button can be pressed and held in only when the remote control
handle is in the neutral position. While holding the throttle only button in,
move the throttle handle forward to assist in starting the engine.
•
Lanyard stop switch (if equipped) ‑ The purpose of a lanyard stop
switch is to shut down the engine when the operator moves far enough
away from the operator's position to activate the switch. A lanyard stop
switch can be installed as an accessory, generally on the dashboard or
side adjacent to the operator's position.
•
Control handle ‑ Operation of the shift and throttle is controlled by the
movement of the control handle. Push the control handle forward from
neutral with a quick firm motion to the first detent for forward gear.
Continue pushing forward to increase speed. Pull the control handle back
from neutral with a quick firm motion to the first detent for reverse gear.
Continue pulling back to increase speed.
IMPORTANT: Forcing the shift mechanism while the engine is not operating
can result in product damage.
