Garmin Reactor 40 Kicker Autopilot Throttle Actuator Installation Instructions - Page 6

Connecting the Throttle Actuator to the ECU After you connect the throttle actuator and linkages inside the motor, you must connect the throttle actuator to the autopilot ECU. 1 Locate the cable pass-through location on the motor. This area is where the motor cables are routed from the inside of the motor to the outside of the motor, and is usually near the tiller arm. 2 If necessary, create a cable pass-through opening in the motor housing for the ECU cable. 3 Route the ECU cable on the throttle actuator from the inside of the motor to the outside of the motor. 4 Route the ECU cable to the location where you installed the autopilot ECU, and connect it to the THROTTLE port. 5 If necessary, apply marine sealant to the cable pass-through opening to protect the inside of the motor from water ingress. Testing the Throttle Actuator Installation Before you can test the installation, you must install all of the autopilot components and all of the throttle actuator linkage components, and connect the throttle actuator to the ECU. 1 Turn on the motor. 2 Turn on the autopilot system. 3 Engage the autopilot. 4 On the remote control, press to increase the throttle using the throttle actuator. The throttle actuator should move the throttle to full speed. 5 On the remote control, press to decrease the throttle using the throttle actuator. The throttle actuator should return the motor to idle. 6 Complete an action: • If the throttle actuator does not move the throttle from full speed to idle, adjust the throttle cable bracket and repeat this test. • If the throttle actuator controls the throttle correctly, turn off the motor and the autopilot system.
