Remove the EasyAG

TM

 dolly, thread a Fair Rite

TM

 bead onto a loop in the 

cable but do not tighten it into place yet (refer to final installation photo for 
this). 

 

Push the cable through the cable gland and attach the wiring according to the 
diagram in Section 4. 

Step 5 - Inserting the Electronics 

Reinstall the sensor circuitry and attach the connector or attach wiring as 
required.  Tighten the cable gland and seal around the inside threaded section 
with silicone glue. 

Step 6 

–

 Fitting the Top Cap Lid 

Replace the lid of the top cap.  Tighten the screws completely to ensure an 
effective seal.
