MD-11 FMS SID Question

Setting up a scenario from CYYZ 15R to KSFO with the Pearson 9 departure.

Pearson 9 for 15R has 6.3% up to 3000, Rwy heading to 7.9 YTP MNM 3000.

Looks like radar vectors to the first waypoint on the route ARTHR ~40nm west.

Does anyone have programing advise or SOP for the FMS from the MANUAL line to ARTHR?

I would assume hand flying or speed climb/heading on AP until a "cleared direct" is issued would be how it's handled?

Anything to watch for leaving the MANUAL line blank on the right?

Interested in anything y'all have to say.

Thanks..

Bob

Also - would a PBD Waypoint, say YTP / 147 / 7.9, be the right thing to enter in place of the MANUAL waypoint?

No, just do what the SIDPT says. Runway hdg 147 for vectors. I would be careful deleting the man leg but you can see above the MANUAL it shows hdg 147 so you can just NAV it.
