The fast idle lever will not move unless the remote control lever is in the NEUTRAL position. Conversely, the remote control lever will not move unless the fast idle lever is in the lowest position.

FAST IDLE BUTTON

Pushing the fast idle button, turn the remote control lever forward. Keep turning the lever forward. The throttle opens and the engine speed increases after the lever passed the shift point.

Note that the gearshift mechanism does not function when the fast idle button is pushed once and then released after the remote control lever is moved.

The control lever does not operate unless the neutral release lever is pulled.
