6.1 Description
6.1.1 General
All wires consist of a wire and a conduit. In the
wire ends one part, the wire or the conduit, is
fastened to the body and the other part to a le-
ver. The levers are connected to the operator
control and to the controlled device. I.e. PTO
wire, throttle wire, etc.
The wires are also in most cases fitted with
adjustments sleeves with locking nuts or angle
links at one or both ends.
Maintenance of wires:
Drop a little engine oil or lubricating spray in
the ends of the control wires two or three times
a year.
6.1.2 Elbow links
In many cases there are elbow links mounted
at the wire ends. The elbow links have two
functions as follows:
• To transmit the movement to/from the
actual lever.
• For wire adjustment purpose. The wire ten-
sion is adjusted by screwing the link on/off
the threaded rod at the wire.
Note!
At the adjustment, at least 5 threads
shall be engaged.
To change a elbow link
1. Loosen the nut (3) with a 8 mm wrench.
2. Remove the nut (1) with a 8 mm wrench.
Hold the elbow stud with a 7 mm wrench.
3. Screw the elbow link off the rod.
4. The assembly is performed in the reverse
order.
5. After the assembly, adjust the wire.

6.1.3 Cable holders
Warning!
It is essential that all cable
holders are fitted properly. If
not, there is risk of short circuit
and fire.
All wires, electrical cables and other
conductors are fitted to the chassis with
cable holders. Always, after removal or
replacement of wires, new cable holders
shall be fitted in places where they were
original mounted.
Loose wires and cables cause unnesecca-
ry wear of components which finally result
in electrical short circuit, paint removal and
damages of plastic covers etc.
