5.1 Introduction
Installation of the Skipper LT system does not require specialist knowledge.
We recommend however that this be done by a qualified technician in as much as the installation also requires electrical connections to be made.
ARAG IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CONSEQUENT ON INSTALLATION BY UNQUALIFIED PERSONS.
IF CASE OF DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM CAUSED BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR CONNECTIONS, THE WARRANTY IS AUTO -
MATICALLY VOIDED.
CAUTION! DO NOT CONNECT ANY ANTENNA DIFFERING FROM THE RECOMMENDED ONE (art. no. 520110.600).
ARAG WILL BE HELD HARMLESS FROM ANY LIABILITY IN CASE OF PRODUCT DAMAGES, FAULTS AND RISKS OF ANY KIND
CAUSED BY THE CONNECTION OF THE MODULE WITH NON-ORIGINAL ANTENNAS OR ANTENNAS NOT SUPPLIED BY ARAG.

5.3 General precautions for locating the Skipper LT and cable runs
Positioning the Skipper LT device in the cab:
- DO NOT place the navigator in areas subject to excessive vibrations and shocks or close to moving parts which might cause
damages;
- Mount the remote control unit in a visible position, without obstructing the operator’s view, and within easy reach by hand;
- Take care to position the device away from moving parts to avoid accidental operation of its keys.
Inserting the connectors:
- Fit supplied O-rings into connectors and then connect paying special attention to the notch.
Press gently and then tighten the ring nut.
WARNING: Tighten connector ring nuts finger tight. Do not use any tools.
- Do not force insertion of connectors by pressing excessively or bending: contacts could damage and compromise correct
operation of the monitor.
Securing the cables:
- Note the various connections required for the Skipper LT system to operate, the necessary length of the cables, and ensure
that there is sufficient space for the cable runs and connectors;
- Route the cables in such a way that twisting and machine movements cannot damage or break them;
- Route the cables in such a way that they cannot come into contact with moving parts;
- If, due to limited space, the cabling has to run around a corner, make sure that the
bend is not too sharp as this may cause the cable to break.
Use ONLY the accessories indicated in the catalogue, having technical features suitable for the use to be made of them.
