Friction Brake
Generally, the remote control has a friction brake, which can be adjusted as necessary, to provide lighter or
heavier lever action. If you are using a Volvo Penta remote control and you wish to make adjustments to the
friction brake, follow the instructions below to make the necessary changes.
NOTICE! Each manufacturer has a particular method for making adjustments to the friction brake. For specific
directions on how to adjust a non-Volvo Penta friction brake, please refer to your manufacturer’s manual.
Side Mount Remote Controls
The procedure for adjusting the friction brake on side
mount remote controls is complex and time-consum-
ing. If you need to have the friction adjusted on your
side mount remote control, please visit a Volvo Penta
authorized dealer.
Top Mount Remote Controls
The top mount remote control lever has a friction brake
that can be adjusted for lighter or stiffer lever move-
ment. Resistance in click mode can also be adjusted.
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Remove the cover 3.
3. Adjust the friction brake 1 and/or click mode 2 by
turning the screw clockwise for stiffer lever move-
ment and counterclockwise for lighter lever
movement.
4. Reinstall the cover.
