3.3.1. Installation of RDU
The Reichhardt Steering Motor RDU will be expertly installed and
turned over to the customer field-ready.
Advice!
Any time the steering motor is not in use, while
on the road or when stopped, lock it into the inactive
position so there is no contact to the steering wheel.
That way the life expectancy of the steering motor RDU
and its contact wheel will be greatly extended.
To install the RDU into another vehicle
•
Push the mounting slider onto the holding bracket.
•
Slide the holding bracket of the RDU between the steering
column and the mounting slider.
•
Slide the motor unit close the steering wheel so that the con-
tact wheel, in the non action position, is approximately 1 3/4”
inches.
•
Fasten the RDU in this position to the steering column bracket.
Tighten the thumb screw beneath the slider by hand. Do not
use any tools.
•
Connect the connecter cable of the RDU motor to the cable
harness of the vehicle.
•
To activate automatic steering grab the motor friction wheel
and push it away from the steering wheel. The locking device
releases, and the motor is drawn towards the steering wheel.
The RDU steering assistant is now operation ready.
•
During active operation, if the steering wheel is not getting
enough force, the contact pressure may be too low. Slide the
RDU motor closer to the steering wheel or increase the spring
tension.
Advice!
By marking the optimal position on the mount-
ing bracket now, it will be useful to refer to it during the
next vehicle installation.
Attention!
Keep hair, clothing, gloves, necklaces and
other jewellery away from moving parts! Long hair, loose
clothing, jewellery or similar loose parts can become
caught in moving components.
Do not insert your fingers between the mounting base
and mounting slider. This can cause injuries.
