Questions and answers
MPC 4000 Gen II Series - When I attach the control handle assembly to the remote control module, how do I know if the gears inside the remote control module are in the neutral position?
To determine if the gears inside the remote control module are in the neutral position when attaching the control handle assembly, ensure that the control handle is aligned with the neutral position and verify that the neutral start switch only allows the engine to crank when the remote control is in neutral. If the engine cranks only in this position, the gears are correctly set to neutral.
