ADJUSTING THE STEERING CABLE
The steering cable tension is pre-set at the factory but, through normal use, may need occasional adjustment.
a. The Cable Tension Adjustment screw is located
at the base of the Foot Pedal on the Toe End.
The screw is below the Steering Cable Cover. The
tension of the screw can be adjusted using a #3
Phillips Pan head screwdriver.
b. Turn the screw clockwise to increase tension and
counter-clockwise to decrease tension.

CAUTION
If the cable becomes too loose, it may disengage from the Wrap
Drum that sits on the Steering Housing or the Cable Pulley in
the foot pedal.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the Cable Tension Screw past 10 - 12
in-lbs. Over-tightening the screw will cause damage from
excessive tension.

AutoPilot
The AutoPilot button is located on the bottom right corner of the Foot Pedal and is indicated by the directional symbol.
Pressing the AutoPilot button toggles the feature on and off. The red light next to the AutoPilot icon on the Indicator Panel
is illuminated when this feature is engaged. When AutoPilot is engaged, a single tone is emitted. There is no tone emitted
when AutoPilot is disengaged. AutoPilot can also be controlled using the remote. For more specific directions on how to use
AutoPilot, please refer to either the
i-Pilot
or
i-Pilot Link
Manual.
Steering Lock
When steering the Ultrex with either the foot pedal or compatible
Minn Kota remote, the Steering Lock feature will automatically
lock the motor in the last position that was specified, allowing the
operator to remove their foot from the pedal or hand from the remote
and remain traveling in their chosen direction. The operator can set a new direction at any time by using the foot pedal or remote
to rotate the motor. In the event that the motor encounters a solid obstruction, Steering Lock will rotate and lock the motor into
a new position to prevent damage.
NOTE:
The motor will not auto correct to drive
straight when it encounters an obstruction.
