Neutral Lock Button - Prevents accidental shift and throttle engagement. Neutral lock
button must be pushed in to move the control handle out of neutral.
Throttle Only Button - Allows engine throttle advancement without shifting the engine.
This is done by disengaging the shift mechanism from the control handle. The throttle only
button can be depressed only when the remote control handle is in the neutral position,
and should only be used to assist in starting the engine.
Lanyard Stop Switch - Turns the ignition off whenever the operator (when attached to the
lanyard) moves far enough away from the operator's position to activate the switch. Refer
to Lanyard Stop Switch for information on the use of this switch.
Control Handle - Operation of the shift and throttle are controlled by the movement of the
control handle. Push the control handle forward from neutral with a quick firm motion to the
first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing forward to increase speed. Pull the control
handle back from neutral with a quick firm motion to the first detent for reverse gear and
continue pushing back to increase speed.
Control Handle Tension Adjustment Screw - (not visible) This screw is used to adjust
the effort required to move the remote control handle. Refer to instructions provided with
remote control for complete adjustment instructions.
