5.7 Installation of Handle

The control handle should be attached to the hydraulic lever that oper-
ates the double acting outlet you intend to use. The universal mounting
bracket "E" is very flexible and a number of different mounting positions
can be used.Fig. 15 shows an example of how this may be done.

5.8 Electric Hook-up of Handle

1. Connect plug "F" to the tractor's 12 volt power system.
Note: Check with your dealer or tractor operators manual for the best
location to hook up the 12 volt system.
Try to connect the power cable as close as possible to the battery or the
starter of the tractor for a better power supply.

Brown wire on control handle is positive (+).
Blue wire on control handle is negative (-).

2.Connect electric plug "H" from sprayer hydraulics to plug "G" on
handle.
