Drive cable routing
We recommend that the entry point for the cable from the SPX-5R Drive is positioned
so that the chances of water entering through the cable entry point are minimized. A
watertight grommet is supplied, but if this is not suitable for the thickness of the
surface through which you intend routing the cable, obtain another grommet of
suitable size, then:
1. In a suitable location drill a hole for the cable grommet.
2. Remove any rough edges from the hole then fit the grommet.
3. Feed the free end of the cable through the grommet, leaving the coiled part of the
cable outside.
