Control levers are supplied bolted together as a complete unit along with a mounting
bracket for attachment within the tractor - the number of controllers in the set can vary
dependent on the particular model or specification machine. The mounting bracket
should be positioned on the inner wing face of the tractor cab in a suitable position for
ease of operation.
It is suggested that for three and four bank controller sets the bracket is fitted to the
left-hand wing for left-hand cut machines and right-hand wing for right- hand cut
machines. In the case of electric machines with a single-bank rotor controller is
required it is suggested that the bracket is fitted to the opposite side for the control of
the cutting direction and that the joystick mounting bracket is fitted to the cutting side -
both brackets are however the same.
