Shift and throttle control

WARNING!
Risk of personal injury. Read the procedures and
safety messages in Operation before operating these
controls.
See Shifting and Speed Control, page 33.
Volvo Penta controls are available in side-mount, top-
mount, or twin top-mount configurations.
The control lever A operates both the drive shift
function and engine throttle. There are control cables
between the control and the shift mechanism and
throttle control, that transfer lever movement to these
functions.
For twin installations there is a lever for each driveline.
The port lever controls the port driveline, the starboard
lever controls the starboard driveline.
Control features
A Control lever
B Trim and tilt button
C Neutral interlock button
D Throttle only
All controls have an internal neutral safety switch,
which prevents engine starting if the drive is in gear.
If your boat is equipped with a control that is not from
Volvo Penta, ask your dealer for operating instructions
for your control. Operation and function may differ from
the Volvo Penta controls shown here.

Adjusting the control lever

Volvo Penta controls have a friction brake that can be
adjusted to provide lighter or heavier lever action. If
your control is too hard or too easy to move, see your
dealer for adjustment. The procedure is also covered
in the Service and Maintenance Manual.
For non-Volvo Penta controls see the instructions for
the control.
