Be sure to perform the gearshift
operation at a low engine speed.
Shifting the gear at a high
engine speed will damage the
drive system. Be sure that the
gear was shifted securely, then
operate the throttle grip to raise
the engine speed.

SHIFT LEVER
The shift lever has 3 positions:
FORWARD, NEUTRAL, and
REVERSE.
An indicator at the base of the shift
lever aligns with the icon attached at
the tiller handle.
The throttle mechanism is designed
to limit throttle opening in
REVERSE and NEUTRAL. Do not
turn the throttle grip with force in the
FAST direction. The throttle can be
opened to FAST only in FORWARD
gear.
Align the pointer on the tiller
handle with the SLOW position on
the throttle grip to decrease engine
speed.
Move the shift lever to engage the
desired gear.
