Installation procedure, helm
Adapter for mechanical controls
Neutral. switch
Lever friction adjustment Using an adapter for mechanical controls will enable you to use any mechanical control in combination with an EVC engine and electrically or mechanically shifted reverse gear. The adapter will transfer the mechanical push-pull movement into an electric signal. A neutral switch is fitted on the adapter. Install the control adapter as close as possible to the control station to reduce the amount of force needed to move the control and make sure the location is dry and easy accessible. If the adapter has to be installed far away from the control station there is an extension cable available in 5 m (16.5 ft) and 9 m (29.5 ft) lengths.
The lever friction can be adjusted with screw. Turn the screw clockwise to increase drag on the control lever and counterclockwise to decrease drag on the control lever. NOTE! The friction must be adjusted only when the control lever is in the throttle range. Do not adjust the friction with the control in neutral.
