FITTING CONTROLS
The position of the lever unit inside the tractor cab depends largely upon the route of the cables between
unit and control valve.
The control valve is mounted on the front face of the oil tank.
The cable normally can be routed through the rear cab window and should be as free of bends as
possible. DO NOT PINCH CABLE IN CLOSED WINDOW.
NOTE: Avoid sharp bends. The rotor control cable must not have a bend of less than 150mm (6 in)
radius.
If the tractor cab has special apertures for cables the lever unit should be through them before they are
attached to the tractor cab.
Follow instructions below for fitting lever unit.
A. Pass lever unit and cable through suitable aperture in rear of tractor cab.
NOTE: It is essential not to drill mounting holes through any structural member of the safety cab.
B. Mount the unit securely on to the mounting bracket with bolts provided.
C. Finally, check levers for smooth operation in both directions. If any stiffness is felt or if levers do not
return to center, check cable route for sharp bends.
