1. Set screw of shifter and VTS
2. Set screw of throttle
3. Screws and springs for “ratchetting” effect of the VTS lever
To adjust shifter friction, turn set screw that is on
the same side as shifter lever.
The set screw of the VTS lever has very little ef-
fect because of the “ratchetting” mechanism.
To adjust throttle lever turn set screw on center of
pivot point of lever.
The “ratchetting” effect for the VTS lever is pro-
vided by 2 spring-loaded steel balls (see illustra-
tion). If the “ratchetting” is not felt, check those
components.
Shifter Lock Adjustment
All Models
The locking action can be adjusted. The positions
Forward
/
Neutral
/
Reverse are “notched” by
means of a steel ball pushed by a spring against a
notch on shifter plate.
Turning the set screw clockwise will increase
spring pressure and therefore “hardens” shifter
lock action. Conversely turning screw counter-
clockwise “softens” lock action.
The set screw is located on the same side as
shifter lever.
