GENERAL INSTALLATION
System Wiring
Cables are generally shipped at the predetermined length required for a particular machine.
Connectors are installed at the factory.
Plan the routing of all cables prior to actual installation.
All cables should be properly installed. Cables should be attached to the machine at a minimum
of every 2 to 3 feet (.6 to 1.0 meter) or less to try to eliminate cable movement and possible
abrasion damage. Special care should be taken at fl ex points to ensure the cable moves freely
and does not rub on other hoses, fi ttings, or the machine. Provide adequate cable length to avoid
pinching, stretching, and tight bending. Also, cables should not be clamped to pipes or hoses
that will cause the cable to be exposed to high temperatures.
Connect the 4-socket connector on the power cable to the 4-pin connector on the box. Route
the cable to the machine's battery and connect the terminal ends to the battery. The red terminal
is for the positive post and the black is for ground. The box has reverse polarity protection in
case the terminals are connected improperly.
NOTE:
In order to utilize the machine's master disconnect, the ground wire must
be connected to the machine frame.
Connect the 6-pin receiver cable end to the 6-socket connector on the box. Route the cable to
the receiver. Connect the 7-socket receiver cable end to the 7-pin connector on the bottom of
the
MCR
receiver.
If a receiver cable with a junction block is used, follow the instructions provided with the cable.
Connect the 10-pin valve cable to the 10-socket connector on the box. Route the cable to the
valve and connect the open-ended wires to the valve following the directions for the valve.
Cable diagrams and part numbers are in Appendix C.
Optional Remote Switch
The remote switch assembly is designed to mount to lever shafts from 3/8 to 1-1/8 in.
(10 to 28 mm)
The switch can be a single function of Auto / Manual selection or can be confi gured with the
additional Raise / Lower function.
Cable diagrams and part numbers are in Appendix C.
Additional installation instructions are provided with the switch and are also in Appendix J.
