MOUNTING THE REMOTE COMMAND HANDLE
The control handle is normally mounted to an existing tractor remote lever. The control handle selects one
cylinder on the boom to be operated from a remote outlet.
The metal bracket at the base of the control handle is mounted to the remote lever using the U-bolts and
hardware included. Choose either the round U-bolts for round shafts or the flat U-bolts for flat shafts. Two allen
head screws in the mounting bracket are used to keep the handle from rotating on a round shaft and can also
be used to hold the bracket more securely on a flat shaft.
The bracket at the base of the handle can be reversed if needed by removing the allen head screws.
Pull the bracket out of the bottom of the handle, turn it around and replace it in the handle. This allows you to
place the handle in the front of or behind the remote lever providing additional clearance for other controls.
The bracket may be bent, tilting the handle to one side or the other to provide clearance for other controls or to
make the control more comfortable to operate. To reduce the possibility of damaging the handle, the bracket
should be removed from the handle before bending.
After mounting the handle, route the cable away from the handle leaving enough slack in the line to provide
free movement of the control. Secure the cable with the cable ties included.
Unless otherwise specified, all control systems are designed for use on 12 volt, negative ground electrical
systems only. The red and black power wires are to be connected as follows:
Connect the black wire to the frame of the vehicle or to the grounded terminal of the battery.
Connect the red power wire to the source of power, normally this connection is made at the fuse panel. You
must fuse the power wire using the fuse and holder supplied, locate the fuse as close to the source of power as
possible. The power should be controlled by the ignition key to prevent the battery from being drained when
the engine is not running.
Apply decal provided to interior of cab window or other convenient surface.
After the Handle is properly installed the Wiring Harness can be connected to the Valve Harness by connecting
the 9 pin sockets.
Wire harness from valve must run through outside window as shown.
