BEST AVAILABLE COPY 2. Operate  control  hand  lever  to  check  for  adequate clearance.    If  additional  clearance  is  required  at full forward proceed as follows: (a) Set   control   hand   lever   either   side   of   neutral. Loosen  setscrew  (19)  with  a  5/32"  Allen  wrench and remove control hand lever from shaft. (b) Replace  control  hand  lever  on  shaft  to  provide desired clearance and tighten setscrew. 3. Apply forward and reverse decal (32) to the control head  adjacent  to  neutral  position  of  control  hand lever. NOTE:  Before  stripping  of  protective  backing  paper from     decal,     clean     the     control     surface thoroughly. 6.  Connect Clutch and Throttle Cables to Engine 1.    Follow  the  procedure  outlined  in  the  Throttle  and Clutch     Connection     Kit     Installation     Instructions supplied with each kit. 7.  Final Adjustment 1. Operate the control head hand lever several times. The engine clutch lever and the control clutch arm (14)    MUST    coincide    at    forward,    neutral    and reverse detent positions. 2. The engine clutch lever position must be determined  only  by  the  control  cable  and  should not  be  jammed  against  forward  or  reverse  stops. Adjust  the  shift  cable  terminal  (at  the  clutch  end first) until detents are properly synchronized. 3. Operate     the     control     hand     lever     through     the complete  operating  range.    The  carburetor  throttle lever  should  rest  lightly  against  its  idle  stop  when the   control   hand   lever   is   at   neutral.      At   neutral detent,   pull   out   hand   lever   hub   and   move   thru forward  range.    Return  to  neutral  and  hand  lever should snap back in place.  Excessive pressure of the carburetor throttle lever against its idle stop will prevent  the  control  hand  lever  from  moving  freely in  and  out  at  the  neutral  detent.    To  remedy  this, adjust   the   engine   throttle   cable   terminal   so   the control   cable   will   move   the   engine   throttle   lever against its idle stop with minimum pressure.   (See Figure 6). CAUTION THROTTLE CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM MOTOR BEFORE MAKING MOTOR IDLE ADJUSTMENTS.      Adjustment  of  the motor  idle  while  the  throttle  cable  is still  connected  to  motor,    may  cause a   jamming   action   against   the   idle stop.    As  a  result,  control  may  not function properly. 4. The carburetor throttle arm should  be  at  full  travel position   when   the   control   hand   lever   is   at   full forward throttle.  In reverse, only limited movement of  the  carburetor  throttle  arm  is  available.    When the  throttle  cable  is  correctly  adjusted,  the  engine speed    will    remain    at    idle    while    the    control    is shifted,   and   will   increased   only   when   the   hand lever   is   moved   beyond   the          (UNREADABLE TEXT) NOTE Throttle cable requires free back-and- forth   swing   clearance   two   to   three feet  below  the  control  head  housing for smooth operation. Figure 6 5. Tighten all cable supports. 6. Check   all   screws,   nuts,   cable   connections   and cable terminal for tightness. 7.  Water test the boat.  The control hand lever should operate   freely   with   light   hand   pressure.         Any stiffness  or  binding  in  the  operation  of  the  hand lever can usually be traced to: (a) Excess number of bends in cable runs. (b) Sharp  bend  in  the  cables  too  close  to  control head. (c) Bends  smaller  than  the  recommended  minimum radius of 8”. (d) Tight or misaligned engine linkage. (e) Cable compressed too tightly by cable supports. (f) Engine   clutch   lever   jamming   its   limit   stops   at forward and/or reverse. 8.  Operation 1. Adjust the engine for smooth idle, as recommended by the manufacturer. 2. For    starting    or    warm-up,    place    the    control    in neutral  detent  position  and  pull  out  the  hand  lever nub to disengage the shift mechanism allowing the lever to be moved forward or backward to advance the  throttle.    When  warm-up  is  completed,  return the  lever  to  neutral  detent.    The  hand  lever  will automatically  snap  into  the  operating  range.    (If lever  does  not  engage  into  operating  range  when returned  to  neutral,  check  for  excessive  pressure of the engine throttle lever against its idle stop). 3. When operating the “MT-2" control, shift crisply out of  neutral  into  forward  or  reverse,  but  do  not  shift too  quickly  from  forward  into  reverse.    Stay  in  the neutral or idle position until the boat has lost most of   its   headway   before   completing   the   shift   to reverse. 9.  Maintenance 1. CORROSION PROTECTION For  maximum  protection,  especially  in  salt  water areas,  wipe  metallic  parts,  such  as  screw  heads, cable    sleeves,    etc.,    with    oil    or    light    grease. Chrome  plated  hand  lever  and  covers  should  be washed with fresh water and waxed regularly. 2. MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE (a) Periodically  check  control  mechanism  for  loose fastenings  and  signs  of  wear  or  moving  parts, particularly     the     cable     terminals.          Lubricate moving parts with a good quality marine grease. (b) Periodically examine cables and engine connections    for    signs    of    physical    damage. (UNREADABLE TEXT)
