Attaching/Adjusting Shift Cable - Velvet Drive
5000 Series Transmissions
These model transmissions are full reversing
transmissions. Rotation of the output fl ange and
propeller shaft is determined by the hookup of the shift
cable at the remote control before starting the installation
and adjustment procedures.
For left-hand (LH) shaft rotation - the transmission shift
lever must move TOWARD the engine (fl ywheel) when
the remote control shift handle is placed in the forward
position.
For right-hand (RH) shaft rotation - the transmission shift
lever must move AWAY from the engine (fl ywheel) when
the remote control shift handle is placed in the forward
position.
