INSTALLING THE COVER (IF SUPPLIED)
Once the mechanism has been securely mounted, the
handle assembly may be attached to the control. The
handle assembly contains two (2) sets of internal splines;
one (1) on the chrome locking ring, and one (1) on the black
handle. There are two (2) sets of mating external splines on
the mechanism; one (1) on the cast housing and one (1) on
the steel shaft. Each set of splines contains forty-eight (48)
teeth and both sets of the 1 3/8” splines and ¾” splines are
consistently oriented to the other (See Figure 6).
CONNECTION OF WIRING HARNESS AND SHIFT
CABLE CABLES TO ENGINE
1.
Read engine maker’s manual and use the recommended
attachment kits to connect shift cable to the engine.
2.
Connect the 10-pin connector from the wiring harness into
the engine TAC module. The watertight seal should be in
place and connector should be fully seated and latched
for proper operation.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH YOUR BOAT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
4.
Once the handle has been attached with the set screw,
insert the black button onto the push pin in the shaft and
press firmly. Insert the #6-32 x 7/8” long machine screw
through the center of the button and tighten until the screw
is flush with the button. Overtightening can result in
damaging the button and/or screw.
3.
While applying pressure firmly against the assembly and
leaving the handle in the locked position, install the set
screw into the bottom of the handle and tighten.
1.
Place the cover over the shaft and spline and snap into
place on the control mechanism.
C.
INSTALLING THE HANDLE
1.
Make sure the pinned rocker in the handle is situated in the
slot in the locking ring; this is referred to as the locked
position.
2.
Firmly install the handle assembly onto the control so that
both sets of splines are fully engaged and the steel shaft
'bottoms-out' against the internal shoulder of the handle.
Since the splines on the shaft and handle wiII engage
before the splines on the locking plate and diecast housing,
make sure the locking ring rests securely on the 1 3/8”
splines and cannot rotate.
2.
If the handle develops lost motion, check that it is firmly
attached the control body, that the control body is firmly
attached to the boat and that the cables are firmly
attached to the control, engine, and gear.
3.
If stiffness of operation develops, disconnect cable from
the engine and check operation. If stiffness is due to
shift cable, it must be replaced.
1.
Ensure that the control is firmly mounted.
Although very little maintenance is required for this control
system, periodically check the following:
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
ONCE THE ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN FULLY
ATTACHED AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, LIFT THE
'UMBRELLA' OF THE HANDLE AND CYCLE THE HANDLE
THROUGH FULL FORWARD AND FULL REVERSE TO
ENSURE THAT BOTH SETS OF SPLINES ARE FULLY
ENGAGED. IF THE LOCKING PLATE IS CAPABLE OF
ROTATING WITH THE HANDLE, REMOVE THE HANDLE
ASSEMBLY AND REPEAT THE HANDLE INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE. ALSO, CYCLE THE CONTROL USING THE
PUSH BUTTON/NEUTRAL WARM-UP TO ENSURE THAT
THE BLACK BUTTON HAS BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED.
NOTE
: Since the sets of splines are oriented and have the
same number of teeth, the control allows for the handle
assembly to be indexed every 7.5
○
. The centerline of the
handle is aligned with the centerline of the control, so if the
control is mounted horizontally, the handle can be attached
perpendicularly to the control.
