7. OPERATION 1. Gear Shifting
The engine has 3 gears: FORWARD, NEUTRAL, and REVERSE. An
indicator at the base of the gear shift lever aligns with the letter F, N, or R
on the engine case to show the gear that has been selected.
Turn the throttle grip to SHIFT to decrease engine speed before moving the
gear shift lever.
CAUTION: When operating in reverse, proceed with caution to avoid
hitting any underwater obstruction with the propeller.
NOTE: The throttle mechanism is designed to limit throttle opening in
REVERSE and NEUTRAL. The throttle can be opened to FAST only in
FORWARD gear.
