WARNING
The shift cable must be adjusted correctly so that the reverse gate does not inter-
fere with water flow coming out of the rudder. If the reverse gate hangs down into
the water flow, a vibration may be felt in the control box. If this occurs, reduce
throttle immediately and readjust the cable. Improper adjustment may result in
pump damage including loss of the reverse gate. Failure to properly adjust the shift
cable could result in loss of neutral and reverse, property damage, personal injury
or death.
