Throttle indicator
The fuel consumption curve on the throttle
indicator shows the relative amount of fuel
consumed for each throttle position. Choose
the setting that offers the best performance
and fuel economy for the desired operation.
EMU25970
Throttle friction adjuster
A friction device provides adjustable resis-
tance to movement of the throttle grip or the
remote control lever, and can be set accord-
ing to operator preference.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster
clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the
adjuster counterclockwise.
WARNING
EWM00030
Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If
there is too much resistance, it could be
difficult to move throttle lever or grip,
which could result in an accident.
When constant speed is desired, tighten the
adjuster to maintain the desired throttle set-
ting.

Engine stop lanyard switch
The lock plate must be attached to the en-
gine stop switch for the engine to run. The
lanyard should be attached to a secure place
on the operator’s clothing, or arm or leg.
Should the operator fall overboard or leave
the helm, the lanyard will pull out the lock
plate, stopping ignition to the engine. This
will prevent the boat from running away un-
der power.
WARNING
EWM00120
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
to a secure place on your clothing, or
your arm or leg while operating.
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of en-
gine power means the loss of most
steering control. Also, without engine
power, the boat could slow rapidly. This
