Fitting the hose bracket

Figure 2.10 

Fit the hose bracket on the fan.

Connect the fan transmitter and area meter to the cable harness. The cables are numbered and the
corresponding number is on the cable harness.

Attach the outer tubing on the area meter cable to the hydraulic hoses so that the control box can-
not fall down and get damaged on the drill frame.
