Gear Shifting
IMPORTANT: Observe the following:
•
Never shift the outboard into gear unless the engine speed is at idle.
•
Do not shift the outboard into reverse when the engine is not
running.
• Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation: forward
(F), neutral (N), and reverse (R).
• When shifting, always stop at the neutral position and allow the engine
speed to return to idle.
• Always shift the outboard into gear with a quick motion.
• After shifting the outboard into gear, advance the lever further to increase
speed.
