PRM 125
5.7 Remote control operating systems
The engine must be at idle before changing direction, therefore the PRM 125 should be used with remote control
operating systems which must be of the single lever type of remote control, i.e. Morse MT3 or SL3 which controls both
the engine throttle and gear selection. The stroke of the lever between forward and reverse selection must not be less
than 60mm lower hole and 70mm upper hole. Make sure the lever forward position corresponds to the forward
movement of the vessel.
The following points should be noted:
i) The gearbox operating lever is provided with a positive neutral position, which greatly assists the setting up of the
remote control unit.
ii) CAUTION: CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE FLEXIBLE CABLE IS CAPABLE
AND CAN MOVE THE FEARBOX LEVER FREELY TO THE FULL EXTENT OF ITS TRAVEL BOTH
FORWARD AND BACKWARD AND THAT ITS NEUTRAL POSITION IS CORRECT FOR THIS TO TAKE
PLACE.
The control equipment should in all cases be connected in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
