4. HOW TO OPERATE 29
4.5 Clutch Operation for the Marine Gear
4.5.1 Forward, Neutral, Reverse
Use the remote control handle to operate the clutch for
the marine gear (FORWARD, NEUTRAL, REVERSE).
• Be sure to run the engine at the lowest possible speed
when changing between FORWARD and REVERSE.
• Return the handle to NEUTRAL before moving it to
another position. Always move the handle smoothly;
never change positions abruptly.
• Be sure to securely position the handle in FORWARD,
NEUTRAL, or REVERSE.
NOTICE:
Never operate the clutch when the engine is running at high speed. Doing so will put stress
on the engine, driving device, and propeller and result in damage. When shifting the clutch
lever, put the engine speed on 1000rpm or less. Additionally, never change speeds
abruptly.

♦Morse Remote Control Handle
• Put the handle in NEUTRAL (middle position) to stop the boat. The engine will idle at low speed.
• Move the handle to ∆FWD to go forward. When the clutch is engaged in forward, the speed will increase.
• Move the handle to ∇REV to go in reverse. When the clutch is engaged in reverse, the speed will increase.
4.5.2 Switching to Trawling (Available for KMH4A only)
Use the trawling handle to begin trawling. When changing from forward or reverse operation to trawling, the
speed of propeller revolution will be reduced to a bare minimum.
NOTICE:
When trawling, do not raise the engine speed over 1000rpm, as this results in early wear of
and damage to the clutch.
1. Operation continues at a low engine speed of
1000rpm or less.
2. Reduce the speed by moving the trawling handle from
H(high speed) to L(low speed).
Adjust the speed to the desired rate and secure the
trawling handle in place.
3. Before returning to normal operation, be sure to put
the trawling handle on H(high speed) position.
4. Increase engine speed and continue normal operation.
