NOTICE

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.
