Notice to Personnel Installing this Kit
The installation of this product requires an installer who is specifically trained to work
on Mercury Marine’s or Livorsi Marine’s digital throttle and shift (DTS) systems. The
installer must be trained in the proper installation, electronic calibration, and operation
of the DTS system. Failure to correctly install this product may make this product and
/or the DTS system inoperable or unsafe for use.
Avoid possible injury or equipment damage. After installing this control, electronically
calibrate the digital throttle and shift (DTS) system. Do not attempt any calibration
unless you have been specifically trained in Mercury Marine’s DTS systems. Improper
electronic calibration of the DTS system will make this control and/or the DTS system
inoperable or unsafe.
CAUTION
Electrical Requirements
DTS equipped boats require that the electrical systems meet the following guidelines:
Use only marine starting batteries with a 1000 mca /800 cca/ 180 amp hour rating
or higher. Deep cycle batteries do not deliver the power required for the DTS
system.
Secure all battery cables with standard hex nuts, tightened to 13.5 Nm (120 lb. in.)
Do not use wing nuts, as they will not secure the battery cables properly.
Ensure that the battery cable size (cross section) meets the minimum size
requirements for the length of cable used. Refer to the installation manual supplied
with the engine.
Ensure that all power supply connections are clean and tight.
