Reverse System
Shift Cable Adjustment
Check the shift cable adjustment.
When the shift lever is in the “F” position, the lower edge
[A] of the bucket should be held above the top [B] of the
steering nozzle with slight play so it doesn’t interfere with
the water flow from the jet pump.
When the shift lever is in the “R” position, the lower stop-
per [C] on the bucket should rest against the bottom [D]
of the pump cover.
If either position is incorrect, adjust the shift cable.
Put the shift lever in the “R” position.
Loosen the locknut [A] at the end of the shift cable.
Slide back the outer sleeve and take the ball joint [B] off
the ball.
Turn the ball joint on the cable to adjust the shift cable.
Connect the ball joint and check the cable adjustment
again.
When adjustment is correct, tighten the shift cable lock-
nut.
Shift Cable Removal
Take out the storage case screws [A] and remove the stor-
age case [B].
Loosen the locknut [A] at the front end of the shift cable
[B].
