plug in the middle of the switch-plate. 

Cab Circuit Protection 

The  Tektite  ROPS  cab  is  wired  to  provide  maximum  protection  against  individual  circuit 
overload.  All optional components are fused internally behind the cab switch plate. 

GC1705 Deluxe Cab 

The deluxe  GC1705  cab is  designed  to  provide  ROPS  protection  along with  reasonable winter 
weather protection.  The deluxe cab design for this model features glass windows at all window 
locations.  The Massey GC1705 tractor draws its air intake from underneath the steering wheel, 
so the tractor cab cannot be completely sealed, otherwise it will starve the engine for air. 

In  the  summer,  un-hook  the  gas  shocks  on  each  door,  and  then  lift  the  doors  off  of  the  pin 
hinges if you are going to be running the tractor with the cab on during the summer months. 

After your ROPS Cab has been installed:
