CONTROL CABLES
The control cables operate on a push/pull system with the spool centring springs always
returning the spool to the neutral position when the handle is released.
Care should be taken during installation and operation to ensure that the cables are not
trapped or kinked. Any abrasion or damage to the outer casing should be sealed with
plastic insulation tape to avoid moisture penetrating.
No routine adjustments of the cables are necessary, as they do not stretch. The threaded
collar is correctly adjusted when the lever is in a vertical position in its housing allowing
an equal amount of travel in either direction.
CAUTION
On no account should any attempt be made to lubricate the cables – these are assembled with a
special ‘lifelong’ lubricant during manufacture and will not require any additional lubrication.
Note:
Take care to ascertain the correct cable connections on both the control unit and the
valve in the event of cable replacement.
