The Control Head
The control head is the primary user interface for conventional shift and
throttle controls. Please ensure you are familiar with the specific
operation of your electronic shift and throttle (EST) system before use by
consulting your engine manufacturer’s manual for detailed operation.
BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN FIRST ENGAGING THE GEARS.
Your Optimus 360 joystick control system is designed to work with a
variety of different EST systems provided by different engine
manufacturers. Each engine manufacturer will have their own unique
transfer routine to switch from joystick control back to conventional
shift and throttle control. Refer to the table below for your specific
transfer details.
Always put the joystick in its neutral position before transferring control.
