Testing; Testing Shifting Operation - Yamaha T8 Rigging Manual

WARNING
• Dual Station controls must be tested after rigging. Improperly installed or adjusted com-
ponents could operate incorrectly, which would increase the chance for loss of control
and an accident.
• Test the operation with the boat properly supported on land.
• The engine must be off and the lanyard removed before performing this test. Remove the
spark plug caps to prevent engine starting. Otherwise, accident or injury could occur if
the engine starts while turning the propeller by hand.
CAUTION:
After making any adjustment, always check to make sure the cable end is screwed in at least
8mm.
TESTING SHIFT OPERATION
When testing shift operation, use two people. With the engine off, and the lanyard and spark-plug
caps removed, turn the ignition ON. Position one person at the engine to rotate the propeller and
verify correct operation.
The second person should operate the controls.
NOTE:
Because shift operation is performed while the engine is not running, the clutch dog may not
engage the forward or reverse gear perfectly. The warning buzzer will sound after about four sec-
onds if the gear has not been engaged.
1. Turn the main switch to ON and remove the engine stop switch lockplate from the stop
switch.
2. Operate the first station in the following sequence and observe operation:
1) Shift
2) Shift to neutral
3) Shift to reverse
4) Shift to neutral
3. If incorrect operation is observed, make adjustments in the motor shift cable end at the
outboard motor.
4. Operate the second station in the following sequence and observe operation:
1) Shift to forward
2) Shift to neutral
3) Shift to reverse
4) Shift to neutral
5. If incorrect operation is observed at the second station, while the first station is oper-
ating correctly, make adjustments in the second station remote control shift cable at
the junction unit.
6. Again operate the first station and repeat until correct operation is obtained.
If correct operation is still not obtained, adjust the actuator by referring to the instructions in the
following CHECK AND ADJUSTMENTS.
