Dual‑Handle Electronic Remote Control (ERC)—Operation and Adjustment

Operation

The electronic remote control (ERC) handle controls the shift and throttle operation. Push the control handle forward from
neutral to the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing the handle forward to increase speed. Pull the control handle from
the forward position to the neutral position to decrease speed and eventually stop. Pull the control handle back from neutral to
the first detent for reverse gear. Continue pulling the handle back to increase speed in reverse.
NOTE: In certain modes, the gear position is determined by the electronic shift control (ESC), not the position of the ERC
levers. When using the joystick or while in Skyhook, the computer controls the shifting in and out of gears even though the
handles are in neutral.
c
The amount of force needed to move the handles and to move the handles through the detents is adjustable to help prevent
unwanted motion.

1.
Remove the side cover plugs of the handle that needs adjustment.
2.
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase tension on the control handle and counterclockwise to decrease tension.
