STEERING, USING SCOOP CONTROLS.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to make turns at high engine rpm using scoop control. Steering
linkage damage could result.
NOTE
This method of steering is used at low (about 1000 rpm) engine rpm to make slow
and fine adjustments to heading. Commonly called "inching into position".
a. When moving slowly ahead a slight starboard turn can be made by moving starboard scoop control lever slightly
back toward neutral position. Increasing the amount that the lever is moved back increases amount of turn.
b. When moving slowly ahead a slight port turn can be made by moving port scoop control lever slightly back
toward neutral position. Increasing the amount that the lever is moved back, increases amount of turn.
c.
When moving slowly backward a slight starboard turn can be made by moving the starboard scoop control lever
slightly forward toward the neutral position. Moving lever further toward neutral increases amount of turn.
d. When moving slowly astem a slight port tum can be made by moving the port scoop control lever slightly forward
toward the neutral position. Moving lever further toward neutral increases amount of turn.
2-18.
REDUCING SPEED
CAUTION
Do not reverse position of scoops at high engine rpm. Damage to scoop control
linkage could result.
a. To reduce speed slowly, reduce engine rpm and pull back on both scoop control levers.
b. To reduce speed quickly, reduce engine rpm and pull back on both scoop control levers. After both scoop control
levers have been pulled back, increase engine rpm.
