SHIFTING AND SPEED CONTROL
WARNING
IMPORTANT: Carefully check the function of all
control and engine systems before leaving the
dock. If the following directions are not suitable for
your boat’s control, see your Dealer before pro-
ceeding. DO NOT shift motor into FORWARD when
engine is NOT running.
Remember when the engine is in REVERSE
position, the throttle lever and the stop but-
ton are facing away from the operator. Oper-
ate with caution.
Shifting
IMPORTANT: The engine cannot tilt when swiv-
eled for REVERSE. Proceed slowly and avoid un-
derwater obstructions or risk damaging your boat.
With the engine running, move the throttle lever to
idle position.
Move shift lever briskly to FORWARD.
FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE
IMPORTANT: Before moving shift lever, reduce
throttle to SHIFT speed or slower, then pause until
motor slows to idle speed and boat has slowed.
The fuel shut-off valve allows or prevents fuel flow
from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
With the pointer on the fuel valve pointing down, the
valve is “OPEN” and allows fuel flow. Open the
valve when preparing to start the engine and leave
it open during engine operation.
With the pointer on the fuel valve pointing to the
side, the valve is “CLOSED” and prevents fuel flow.
Close the valve before leaving the engine fully tilted
and before laying the engine down.
