GEARSHIFT LEVER
The gearshift lever is used to select F
(forward), N (neutral), or R (reverse)
gears.
The throttle grip controls engine
speed.
The engine can be started with the
gearshift lever in the N (neutral)
position only.
The throttle friction knob adjusts
resistance to throttle grip rotation.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase
friction for holding a throttle setting
while cruising.
Turn the knob counterclockwise to
decrease friction for easy throttle grip
rotation.
If the gearshift lever is in the F
(forward) or R (reverse) position, the
recoil starter will not operate.
An index mark on the tiller handle
shows throttle position and is helpful
for setting the throttle correctly when
starting (p. ).28
