GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Do not overtighten the throttle friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be
difficult to move throttle lever or grip, which could result in an accident. When constant speed
is desired, tighten the adjuster just enough to maintain the desired throttle setting.
ENGINE STOP SWITCH
The stop switch lock must be attached to the engine stop switch for the engine to run. The hook should be
attached to a secure place on the operators clothing, or arm or leg. Should the operator fall over board or
leave the helm, the hook will pull out the stop switch lock, stopping ignition to the engine. This will prevent
the boat from running away under power.
WARNING: Attach the engine stop switch hook to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg
while operating. Do not attach the hook to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could be come entangled, preventing it from functioning. Avoid accidentally
pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power means the loss of most
steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause
people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.
NOTE: The engine cannot be started with the stop switch lock removed.
ENGINE STOP BUTTON
To stop the engine, push and hold this button or pull the lanyard out from the switch.
MANUAL STARTER HANDLE
To start the engine, first gently pull the handle out until resistance is felt. From that position, then pull the
handle straight out quickly to crank the engine.
STEERING FRICTION ADJUSTER
A friction device provides adjustable resistance to the steering mechanism, and can be set according to
operator preference. An adjusting screw or bolt is located on the swivel bracket.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster
counterclockwise.
WARNING : Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be difficult to
steer, which could result in an accident.
