WARNING
Never operate the Selector Knob except
in case of emergency.
Note: Actuator harness cannot be extended or changed.

8 Electronic Control System
Electronic Control System
1. Initial operation after power ON
With power ON, the throttle actuator is fully closed and the shift actuator is set to
neutral.
2. When the control head connected to R/C-l is to be used first
a. Set the hand lever to the neutral position.
b. The neutral lamp goes ON and the control head becomes operative.
3. When the control head connected to others than R/C-l is to be used first
a. Set the hand lever to the neutral position.
b. Open the switch cover and press the selector switch.
c. The neutral lamp goes ON and the control head becomes operative.
4. Shift and throttle operation
a. Shifting the hand lever from the neutral position to the forward detent causes the
shift actuator to operate in the forward direction.
(Forward lamp ON)
Shifting the lever further
in the forward direction causes the
throttle actuator to accelerate.
b. Shifting the hand lever from the
neutral position to the reverse
detent causes the shift actuator
to operate in the reverse direction.
(Reverse lamp ON)
Shifting the lever further in
the reverse direction causes
the throttle actuator
to accelerate.
Never attempt sudden hand lever operation at high engine
speed. It may cause damage to the clutch or transmission.
Never operate the hand lever while the engine is
stopped. Otherwise, the actuator, cable and engine may
be damaged.

5. Neutral throttle operation
How to set
a. Set the hand lever to the neutral position.
b. Open the switch cover and shift the hand lever to the forward position while pressing the
selector switch.
c. The neutral lamp flashes and the neutral throttle operation can be made.
How to cancel
a. Set the hand lever to the neutral position.
b. Open the switch cover and press and release the selector switch.
c. The neutral lamp goes ON and shift and throttle operations can be made.
6. Station transfer
a. Set the hand lever(s) of the desired control head to the neutral position, when transferring
control station. The hand lever(s) of the active station may be in any position.
When transferring control station, both the port and starboard hand lever of the
desired control head must be in the neutral position in dual engine system.
b. Open the switch cover and press the selector switch.
c. The light(s) goes ON and the desired control head is ready to use. At the same time, the
throttle and shift actuator return to the neutral position at 4 seconds from the full
throttle position. This allows the operator to move the hand levers to match the new
position as the actuator moves back to that position.

DETERMINATION OF CABLE LENGTH
Do not bend the cable less than the specified radius.
Otherwise, the cable or actuator may suffer early damage.
CAUTION
Measure the distance from the shift and throttle actuator to the engine’s shift and throttle connection
position, measuring as straight as possible while avoiding any obstruction which may cause bending
of less than the specified radius.
This distance becomes a guideline to determine the cable length.
For the outboard motor
Determine the cable length as determined above plus 1-1.5m (4 feet) to make up a loop shown
below.
