1. The first step in wiring the back of the RC1500 is to cut back the outer jacket 9

¼ inches and remove the plastic film exposing the two sub-cables.


2. The removal of the outer jackets will reveal two 16 gauge wires (red and black in

color) and 3 triple shielded wires for the position sensor enclosed in a foil shield
with a bare drain wire.
