Sail F 4 - Steering Friction Adjuster

8 9
Engine stop lanyard switch
The lock plate must be attached to the engine stop switch for the engine to
run. The lanyard should be attached to a secure place on the operator's
clothing, or arm or leg. Should the operator fall overboard or leave the helm,
the lanyard will pull out the lock plate, stopping ignition to the engine. This
will prevent the boat from running away under power.
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing,
or your arm or leg while operating.
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could become entangled, preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss
of engine power means the loss of most steering control. Also,
without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause
people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.
NOTE:
The engine cannot be started with the lock plate removed.

then pull the handle straight out quickly to cr-
ank the engine.
Steering friction adjuster
A friction device provides adjustable resistance to the steering mechanism,
and can be set according to operator preference. An adjusting screw or bolt is
located on the swivel braket.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clock-
wise.
To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster cou-
nterclockwise.
Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance,
it could be difficult to steer, which could result in an accident.
Trim rod(tilt pin)
The position of the trim rod determines the m-
inimum trim angle of the outboard motor in re-
lation to the transom.
Tilt support lever for manual tilt model
To keep the outboard motor in the tilted up
position, lock the tilt support lever to the clamp
bracket.
