Fast Idle Lever
(side-mount type)
Leave the fast idle lever in the lowest
position to provide a rich fuel
mixture for starting a cold engine.
The switch clip must be inserted in
the emergency stop switch in order
for the engine to start and run. The
lanyard must be attached to the
operator’s PFD (Personal Flotation
Device) or worn around the wrist as
shown.
When used as described, the
emergency stop switch and lanyard
system stops the engine if the
operator falls away from the controls.
A spare switch clip is stored in a slot
in the control housing.
The fast idle lever is used to set idle
speed during warm-up.
The lever will not move unless the
gearshift/throttle control lever is in
the N (neutral) position. The fast idle
lever must be in its lowest position
for you to move the gearshift/throttle
control lever out of neutral.
Lift the fast idle lever to accelerate
the warm up of a cold engine after
starting and to start a warm engine.
