6. Attach the control cables to the control levers and route the cable through the holes in the
cab. Install the control levers in the console. Levers should be installed such that when
the levers are pushed forward the control cable is extended. See Drawing No. 90H72
(Manual Control Assembly) for control lever orientation.
7.
Route the cables to the control valve location and attach them to the control valve with
the bonnet connection kits provided (Pt. No. 20P10). See the following instruction sheet
for installation procedures. The control cables supplied are 84 inches long. Your
particular mounting may require different length control cables, which can be purchased
locally or through Swaploader. Take proper care when routing the control cables, as a
good cable path is essential for a proper operating system. Keep bends in the cable path
to a minimum and be as generous as possible. Under no circumstances should any bend
be tighter than an 8" radius. Protect the cable from heat above 225 degrees F. and avoid
hot areas such as exhaust pipes, etc.. Protect the cable from physical damages such as
pinching or crushing, and do not use cable supports, which may crush or deform the
cable. Allow room for flexing where the cable is attached to moving parts of the
equipment, so that the cable is neither kinked nor stretched.
