possible for proper diagnosis and required service or
adjustment. Continued operation could result in
damage to the shift mechanism and loss
of control.
F - 3 NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH
Every control system has a neutral safety switch incor-
porated into it. This device prohibits the engine from
being started while the shift lever is in any position
other than the neutral position. If the engine will not
start, slight movement of the shift lever may be
necessary to locate the neutral position and disen-
gage the safety cutout switch. Control or cable
adjustments are required to correct this condition
should it persist. See your Four Winns dealer for
necessary control and cable adjustments.
F - 4 CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Periodic inspections of the controls, cables, and all
connections should be made. Signs of looseness,
rust, corrosion, wear, cable jacket cracks or other
deterioration require immediate system servicing.
Replace all damaged components.
Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts and
connections with a light, waterproof grease is in order.
Cables can be lubricated by positioning them to their
fullest extension and applying light grease to the inner
cable near the jacket. Working the cables back and
forth will distribute the grease in the inner cable.
Reapply the grease if necessary.
Lubrication should be performed as often as neces-
sary to keep the system operating smoothly. Cable
manufacturers such as Teleflex and Morse often offer
special tools to make cable lubrication easier.
Cable and control adjustments may become neces-
sary. Adjustment screws in the control, on the cables
and in the linkage are provided.
