wear on the rudder mechanism.
Use the correct fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
damage the equipment.

Do not open the equipment
unless you are well familiar
with electrical circuits.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK
HAZARD
Do not set the course changing speed
too high.
The boat will be turned too sharply at the
course change, which could create a very
dangerous situation.
Do not use the autopilot in the
following situation:
Harbor entrance or narrow channel
Where vessels change course often,
such as a cape or small island
Observe the following cautions when
using the autopilot:

Name: Warning Label (1)
Type: 86-003-1011
Code No.: 100-236-231
WARNING
Do not use the ORBIT mode in rough
sea.
Because the boat turns a 360-degree circle
around the waypoint a large wave or strong
wind can cause the boat to capsize.
For the figure eight mode, confirm that
no objection is in the general vicinity
of the waypoint.
The distance from the waypoint to the
turning point depends on boat's speed.
Set the turn rate properly.
Setting the too high rate may cause sudden
turn.
When connecting a geomagnetism
detection type heading sensor, correct
magnetic field deviation.
If an autopilot is used without the compens-
ation, unexpected course change may occur.
