1 Introduction
Both the gearbox and the fuel pump are operated by one single lever
on Vetus mechanical remote engine controls.
The mechanism is suitable for both 'push' and 'pull' operation of the
fuel pump (throttle) and reversing gearbox, both for 'pushing-for-
wards' and 'pulling-backwards' as well as 'pushing-backwards' and
2 Installation
2.1 Mechanism
The remote control mechanism is delivered standard for a 'pull' throt-
tle.
The mechanism can be adjusted for operation with a 'push' throttle.
Adjusting the 'throttle' function:
• Remove the screw (1) and the washer (2).
• Lift the throttle lever (3) from the mechanism.
• Move the dowel (4) to the opposite hole (5).
• Turn the throttle lever 180° and replace in the mechanism.
Take note that when applying push throttle, the dowel must en-
gage with the inner groove (6) in the throttle lever
If the dowel is in the wrong groove, the lever will have insufficient
stroke
Changing gear:
The mechanism is provided with a double gearbox lever with 4 holes
in total.
The mechanism can be used for both 'pull' and 'push' gear engage-
ment for a cable stroke of 38 mm (1
need to adjust the mechanism.
The gearbox cable must be attached to the relevant hole on the side
of the gearbox lever, depending on the required operation ('pull' or
'push').
2.2 Pull-push cables
Installing the cables
Take note of the following when installing the cables:
- Ensure the correct (total) cable length is used.
- Make as few loops as possible in the cable and make the bending
radius as large as possible (at least 50 cm (20")). Using a smaller
bending radius will cause excessive wear on the outer cable.
- The cables must be clamped at regular intervals (every 60 cm
(2 ft)).

When in doubt, refer to the engine supplier if it is not clear how to op-
erate the engine as far as using the throttle and gear change ('push'
or 'pull') is concerned.

- Do not install the cable too close to heat sources, such as the vari-
ous exhaust parts.
- Prevent cable from chafing.
- After installation in the mechanism, check that the cables can be
moved without significant resistance.
