SAIL-DRIVE OPERATION
24 SD25 Operation Manual
REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE
CHECK
Before operating the engine, check
Sail-Drive oil level.
While cranking the engine slowly, shift the
control handle of the remote-control head
(single lever control) rapidly through
NEUTRAL - AHEAD - NEUTRAL -
ASTERN. If a shift operation is done
slowly, the tip of the clutch dog is worn
away by being hammered, and,
consequently, the clutch fails to engage.
Confirm that the operation lever of the
Sail-Drive moves smoothly to AHEAD,
ASTERN and NEUTRAL. Because the
Sail-Drive SD25 uses a dog clutch, the
clutch is not engaged unless the operation
lever is moved to the NEUTRAL position.
When sailing, set the remote control lever
in neutral. Not doing so WILL introduce
slippage and void your warranty (2,
Figure 1).
