Basic components13NOTE:The neutral throttle lever will operate onlywhen the remote control lever is in neutral.The remote control lever will operate onlywhen the neutral throttle lever is in the closedposition.EMU26230Free acceleratorTo open the throttle without shifting into eitherforward or reverse, push the free acceleratorbutton and move the remote control lever.NOTE: The free accelerator button can only beused when the remote control lever is in theneutral position. After the button is pushed, the throttle be-gins to open after the remote control lever ismoved at least 35°. After using the free accelerator, return theremote control lever to the neutral position.The free accelerator button will return auto-matically to its set position. The remote con-trol will then engage forward and reversenormally.EMU25970Throttle friction adjusterA friction device provides adjustable resis-tance to movement of the throttle grip or theremote control lever, and can be set accord-ing to operator preference.To increase resistance, turn the adjusterclockwise. To decrease resistance, turn theadjuster counterclockwise.WARNINGEWM00030Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. Ifthere is too much resistance, it could bedifficult to move throttle lever or grip,which could result in an accident.1. Fully open2. Fully closed1. Fully open2. Fully closed3.
