Controls
The control lever on Volvo Penta controls has an ad-
justable friction brake. This allows the lever weighting
to be adapted to the personal needs of the owner.
Dual lever controls have individually adjustable fric-
tion brakes for each lever.
Adjusting the friction brake
Single lever control
This brake is intended for controlling speed and is
adjusted at half throttle with the reverse gear en-
gaged. The brake does not affect shifting.
1. Remove the cover over the control.
2. Adjust the friction by turning the screw at the ar-
row (see figure).
Turning the screw clockwise (+) makes the lever
movement stiffer, while turning counterclock-
wise (–) consequently makes it easier to move
the lever.
3. Reinstall the cover over the control.
