6. TESTS
Do the following tests with the vessel secured to the dock:
A) 'Start' engine and check that engine 'Stop' switches (normally a
push button) function correctly at all stations.
B) 'IDLE' the engines and place one (1) control head lever at a time
in the 'AHEAD' detent and then the 'ASTERN' detent. Do this at
each station to confirm direction control.
C) Then use "Warm-up" idle on each engine at each station, one (1)
engine at a time to confirm speed control.
D) Check that all the above tests are made and are correct. Only
then is the vessel ready to leave the dock.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the controls away from the dock with any
system abnormality.
CAUTION: The MicroCommander is single lever control that provides fingertip operation
that is fast and accurate. When you move the lever, that is what you get!
Start slowly and learn to appreciate a light touch and excellent control.
6.1 ADJUSTMENTS TO CHECK UNDERWAY
6.1.1 Full-Speed Setting
Warm-up the engine and in open water gradually move
the control head lever to full-speed.
If the engine RPM is low, check that the throttle lever is
against the full-speed stop. Other possibilities are the
full-speed stops are set incorrectly, or the propeller load
is too great.
If full-speed should be lowered, turn potentiometer R7
counterclockwise to desired maximum RPM. For twin
screw applications, check that idle, mid-range, and full-
speed are equal RPM on both engines with matching
control head lever positions.
