a. Push the throttle‑only button and position the remote control handle or throttle
lever to the 1/4 throttle position.
b. Turn the ignition key to "start." Release key when the engine starts and allow the
switch to return to the "on" position.
6. If the engine does not start after step 5:
a. Move the remote control handle.throttle lever to the full throttle position, then return
to 1/4 throttle.
b. Turn the ignition key to "start." Release key when the engine starts and allow the
switch to return to the "on" position.
7. Inspect the power package for fuel, oil, water, and exhaust leaks.
8. Move the control handle with a firm, quick motion forward to shift to forward gear, or
backward to shift to reverse. After shifting, advance throttle to desired setting.
NOTICE
Shifting into gear at engine speeds above idle will damage the gearcase. Shifting into
gear when the engine is not running can cause misalign the clutch, preventing proper
shifting. Always shift the gearcase into gear when the engine is operating at idle. If you
must shift while the engine is not operating, rotate the propeller shaft in the appropriate
direction during shifting.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Move the remote control handle to neutral/idle and allow the engine to slow to idle
speed. If engine has been operated at high speed for a long period of time, allow the
engine to cool at idle speed for 3 to 5 minutes.
2. The engine can be stopped by any one of the following 4 methods:
a. Move the ignition key switch to the "ACCESSORY" or "OFF" position. The engine
will stop and the control system will be deactivated.
b. Depress the start/stop button, if equipped. The engine will stop and the control
system will remain active.
c. Momentarily move the ignition key switch to the "START" position, then release
immediately. The control system will recognize that the engine is running and will
stop the engine. The control system will remain active. Moving the ignition key
switch to the "START" position again will issue a start request to the control system
and the control system will start the engine, if appropriate.
d. Activate the lanyard stop switch, if equipped. The engine will stop, but the control
system will remain active. The control system will not allow the engine to start if
the lanyard stop switch is activated.
Throttle Only Operation
NOTE: When operating in throttle only (neutral) mode, the DTS Control System will not
allow the engine speed to increase above 3500 RPM.
Zero effort remote controls: Zero effort remote controls have seperate throttle control
and shift control levers. Advancing the throttle control lever beyond the idle position while
the shift control lever is in the neutral position will cause engine speed to increase, but only
up to the maximum neutral engine speed of 3500 RPM.
