Axis A20 User Manual

Improper shifting and use of the throttle can result in damage to the
system that is not covered under warranty. The shifter/throttle manu-
facturer has included additional instructions that are part of the own-
er’s packet. Be sure to read and follow the instructions and additional
information to ensure long and safe operation of the boat.
Do not shift from forward to reverse while the engine is at high RPM.
Damage to the transmission will result. When shifting from forward
to reverse, the system requires a brief pause in the Neutral position
to allow the engine to run in its idle position prior to moving into the
opposite gear. Without this brief pause, it can also cause the engine to shut OFF. The subsequent loss of
control can cause damage to the boat and/or injury to persons in or around the boat.
Before starting the engine or engaging the transmission, be certain
that there are no people in the water around the boat.
Models: All models.
