It is desirable that the cable connection kit is
set perpendicular to the tiller arm or quadrant
at mid stroke - as shown.
Steering Cable - Ensure that cable nut is fully
tightened onto Connection Kit - NO axial play
allowed. Note that nut has self locking feature
this can cause nut to feel tight before clamping.

2. MANUAL OVERRIDE
In the event of UNCONTROLLED automatic steering or other EMERGENCY situations,
automatic return to MANUAL steering is provided through the operation of the a thrust
limiter. It is STRONGLY advised that the helmsperson be formally familiarized with this
MANUAL OVERIDE procedure.
MANUAL OVERRIDE PROCEDURE: the helmsperson can overcome the steering
action of the drive unit by exerting force on the steering wheel in the opposite direction
to the drive. With this action the drive unit thrust limit device will 'slip' allowing the
helmsperson to take control.
3. QUICK RELEASE
The Cable end that attaches to the steering Quadrant or Tiller arm has a quick
release pin. Removing this pin will disengage the cable from the main steering system
therefore releasing the Autopilot drive. It is VERY IMPORTANT that the helmsperson
is formally familiarized with the operation of this feature during any passage.
To operate - remove hairpin from clevis pin and pull out clevis pin using attached chain.
Note - there may be some pre-load on the clevis pin.
