Tractor requirements & preparation
4.1 Electronic control box installation
A good power supply is critical for proper machine operation as the electronic control
box is the main interface between the operator and the machine. The electric power
supply is obtained from the 12 V socket of the tractor. Connect the power leads as
shown below.
The electronic control box must be located inside the tractor cab in the operator’s field
of vision and within easy reach of the red emergency stop button.
. Secure the control unit in the tractor cab, using the V-brackets and
fasteners provided. The male half attaches to the control box and the female half
attaches to the tractor cab allowing for quick placement/removal, every time it is used.
Ensure that the cable to the machine is not under tension and not near sharp edges, etc.
The control box is to be connected to a 12 V, 20 A power supply, using the supplied
power lead or the battery power cable. The control box is not waterproof, it must be
protected from rain.
CAUTION: Do not connect control box to a 24 V power supply
Do not attempt to connect the control box to a power supply greater
than 12 V, as machine component damage will result.
