Notice to Boat Manufacturer, Installer, and Boat Operator

Throughout this manual, Warnings and Cautions (accompanied by the International Hazard Symbol ) are used to alert the manufacturer or installer to special instructions concerning a particular service or operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly.

Warnings alone do not eliminate dangers, nor are they a substitute for safe boat handling and proper accident prevention measures.

Observe these alerts carefully!

These “safety alerts” alone, cannot eliminate the hazards that they signal. Strict

compliance to these special instructions when installing,

operating or performing maintenance and using common sense are the most effective accident prevention measures.

INSTALLATION

Section 1: Location of Control

1.1 Allow adequate clearance for hand lever swing (forward and reverse positions).

1.2 Allow adequate clearance under the console or in the gunwale for the cables AND allow a minimum of 36” from the cable nest connection with no restraint. When supporting the cables beyond 36”, do not tie or clamp tightly.

1.3 After a suitable location for the control is determined, use the separate mounting template.

1.4 Closely follow the instructions provided on the template. Cut & drill the mounting holes required.

On all models, the cover will have to be removed to expose the mounting holes.

Tools for Installation

Phillips head screwdrivers Power drill 5/8” or 16mm deep well socket

Standard slot screwdriver 7/32” & 17/64” drill bits Ratchet wrench

Saber saw 3/8” box end wrench

4¼ “ Hole Saw (optional) Multimeter (optional)

Section 2: Measuring the Cables

Measure the cable routing path from the control head connection to the engine connection.

Outboards:

Measure from the control connection -- along an unobstructed cable routing --to the center of the outboard engine.

Add four (4) feet to the measurement to allow for a loop which provides unrestricted engine movement. Round UP to the next whole foot and order the required cable part number.

(Last two digits of the Teleflex cable number equal the length of the cable in feet.)

Inboards & Stern Drives:

Measure from the control connection -- along an unobstructed cable routing -- to the SHIFT or THROTTLE connection. Round this dimension UP to the next whole foot and order the required cable part number.

(Last two digits of the Teleflex cable number equal the length of the cable in feet.)

Section 4: Shift & Throttle Cable Connection - Engine End

The throttle cable must be disconnected from the motor before making motor idle adjustments.

Adjustment of the motor idle while the throttle cable is connected to the motor may cause jamming action against the idle stop. As a result, the control may not function properly and damage to the control, the cable and/or the motor may occur.

Engine Throttle Lever

4.1 Make sure the Control is in NEUTRAL DETENT.

4.2 The Engine Throttle Lever should rest lightly against the

“Idle Stop” on the carburetor.

4.3 Connect the Throttle Cable to the Engine Throttle Lever.

Please Note: This figure does not represent any particular engine.

Idle Stop

Throttle Cable must be free of load (NO LOAD) when throttle lever is in the idle position to prevent hard shifting.

5.1 Neutral Safety Switch

This control is provided with a Neutral Safety Switch. This switch is used to prevent the engine from starting in gear.

NOTIC

Use a battery-powered test light or test meter to check continuity.

5.1.1 With the Control in NEUTRAL, connect one wire of the

tester to the common terminal, and one wire to the "NO" (Normally Open) Terminal. The test light MUST light.

5.1.2 Connect the neutral safety switch between the ignition

switch (start lead) and the starter solenoid

Use a multi-meter or continuity tester to make sure that there is electrical continuity only when the control is in neutral position. When the control is in forward or reverse gear there must not be electrical continuity. The multimeter or tester should show an open circuit.
