CONTROLS AND INDICATORS The engine is electronically controlled by the Electronic Control Module (ECM); it is the control center of the entire engine system. The ECM processes all of the inputs and sends commands to the fuel systems as well as vehicle and engine control devices. This Operator Manual does not include information on the engine ECM, however a separate manual as prepared in detail by the engine manufacturer is shipped with the crane from the factory.
