i. Press standby.
ii. Turn off the power.
iii. Reverse the motor wires connected to the SPX-5R Drive system computer.
iv. Switch on the power and re-check.

If the rudder overshoots and has to drive back or starts to hunt back and forth, you will
need to increase the rudder damping level manually (See page 57).
Step 4 - Dealer calibration settings
Introduction
To proceed with the dockside preparation, you need to carry out certain Dealer
calibration setup functions. The exact requirement and consequently the calibration
screens displayed, depend on whether a rudder reference transducer is fitted, as
summarized in the following diagram.
WARNING: Use Dealer calibration correctly
Improper use of Dealer calibration can seriously impair the
SPX-5 Drive system performance and therefore adversely affect
the steering capability. Do not change Dealer calibration
settings other than as described in the product documentation.
