1. Match the serial number shown with the serial numbers you
recorded in section 3.3.1. You now know the type (shift or
throttle) and the instance (port or starboard) of the actuator.
Double-click the actuator to open its configuration file.
2. Open the Parameters tab.
3. Set the Actuator Type and Actuator Instance parameter as
required. (See figure C-4.) In a single-engine application set the
instance for both actuators to Port.
4. Set the type-specific parameters as follows:
Throttle actuators: Set the Throttle Acceleration parameter
to Push or Pull for the direction the throttle actuator is
required to move to increase throttle.
Shift actuators: Set the Shift to Forward parameter to Push
or Pull for the direction the shift actuator is required to move
to engage forward gear.
5. Click Write to save the changes. The strokes and throws will
be set in section C.4.3 after the cables have been installed.
6. Repeat items 1 through 6 for each actuator.
7. Remove cable access covers (See figure C-5) on all actuators.
DO NOT connect mechanical cables at this point.
8. With the covers removed, move the port and starboard control
head handles to the forward and reverse positions and verify
that the shift actuator racks both move accordingly.
9. Increase the throttle on each of the control head handles from
idle to the full throttle positions and verify that the throttle
actuator racks advance and return to idle accordingly.
10. Apply manual override direction decals as shown in section 4
(figure 4-9 and figure 4-10).
Figure C-4.
