Dual‑Handle Electronic Remote Control (ERC)—Operation and Adjustment
Operation
The electronic remote control (ERC) handle controls the shift and throttle operation. Push the control handle forward from
neutral to the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing the handle forward to increase speed. Pull the control handle from
the forward position to the neutral position to decrease speed and eventually stop. Pull the control handle back from neutral to
the first detent for reverse gear. Continue pulling the handle back to increase speed in reverse.
NOTE: In certain modes, the gear position is determined by the electronic shift control, not the position of the ERC levers.
When using the joystick or while in Skyhook, the computer controls the shifting even though the ERC levers are in neutral.

To help prevent unwanted motion, the amount of force needed to move the levers is adjustable.
Adjustment
NOTE: The control handle tension and detent tension may require periodic maintenance using the adjustment screws.
To adjust the handle detent tension:
1. Remove the side cover plugs of the handle that needs adjustment.
2. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase tension on the control handle and counterclockwise to decrease tension.
3. Adjust the screw until the desired handle detent tension is achieved.
