Gear Shifting
IMPORTANT: Observe the following:
•
Never shift outboard into gear unless engine speed is at idle.
•
Do not shift 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).
• Reduce engine speed to idle before shifting.
• Always shift outboard into gear with a quick motion.
• After shifting outboard into gear, the throttle grip can be rotated to
increase speed.
