CAUTION
Transmission failure may occur. Velvet Drive Transmission Warranty is jeopardized if the
shift lever poppet ball or spring is permanently removed, if the shift lever is repositioned
or changed in any manner or if remote control and shift cable do not position shift lever
exactly as shown.
The shift and throttle cable must be installed and adjusted exactly as stated in the
installation instructions to achieve proper operation and avoid transmission problems. The
following items are of particular importance.
• The throttle cable must be adjusted to fully close the engine throttle plates when the
remote control is in the neutral, idle position. Failure to do this will result in a high idle,
erratic idle, or both.
• Transmission shift lever must be positioned fully in the FORWARD, NEUTRAL and
REVERSE selector positions (see Section 2 -- Propeller Rotation).
