REMOTE CONTROL MODEL
Shifting
To shift into "FORWARD", squeeze the lock-out
lever on the control handle and move the con-
trol handle forward to approximate position A,
as shown in the illustration.
To shift into "REVERSE", squeeze the lock-out
lever on the control handle and move the con-
trol handle rearward to approximate position B,
as shown in the illustration.
A detent or notch is present on all Suzuki con-
trol boxes to provide a "feel" for positions A, B,
and neutral. Always shift quickly and firmly from
neutral to position A or B to prevent abnormal
wear on the gear and clutch engagement sur-
faces.

FORWARD
Speed control
To increase speed after you have shifted into
gear, continue moving the control handle for-
ward or rearward.
 WARNING
Since the same handle is used for shift-
ing and speed control it is possible to
move the handle past the detent and
engage the throttle. This can cause the
boat to move suddenly resulting in per-
sonal injury or property damage.
You must be careful not to move the con-
trol handle too far forward or rearward
when shifting.
