Controls The shift function and engine speed control are combined in one lever. If necessary the shift function can be easily disengaged so that only the engine speed (rpm) is affected by the lever. The control lever has an adjustable friction brake. A neutral position switch is available as an accessory, this will only permit the engine to be started with the drive/reverse gear disengaged.
Maneuvering Shifting and engine speed are controlled with the same lever (1).

●
Reinstall the cover and lever.
