3.3 Control Head Operation
The control head is the user interface for shift and throttle control.
There are two types of control head used with the i7700 system: single
lever (STM), used on single-engine applications, and dual lever (DTM),
used on multi-engine applications. Both types of control head are
top-mounted; a side-mount single lever control head is not available
for the i7700 system.
The i7700 Quick Reference Guide provides a summary of the control
head operation and should be kept on the vessel at all times.
BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN FIRST ENGAGING THE GEARS TO ESTABLISH
THAT FORWARD IS TRULY FORWARD AND REVERSE IS TRULY REVERSE.
A QUICK IN-AND-OUT OF GEAR TEST IS RECOMMENDED. ENSURE
THAT THE BOAT IS CLEAR OF ALL OBSTACLES FORWARD AND AFT
BEFORE CONDUCTING THIS TEST.
