6. Referring to Figure 9-11, install a hex spacer and lock washer on each side of the XL-CH and torque
to 5.85 Nm using the 7mm Hex Socket or Socket Bit. Slide the XL-CH into the bracket and secure with
the locking screw.
Figure 9-11: Install the XL-CH into the Bracket
7. Position the XL-CH to the desired position and tighten both screws, with flat and lock washers, to 5.85
Nm using the 2.5 mm Allen wrench or hex bit. Do not over-tighten.
Locking screws should not be installed/re-used more than eight (8) times, because
thread locking strength may suffer after this number of re-installations. Replace the
screws with new cap screws if their locking strength is in question and/or after
exceeding eight (8) installations.
9.3.4 Control Head Power Cable Installation
Plan the route of the Control Head’s DC Power Cable carefully. Do not route the cable where it will be
damaged by heat sources or by casual contact and protect it from wire chafe per standard installation
methods. The following procedures are recommended:
1. Obtain the Control Head’s DC Power Cable from the respective installation kit.
2. Connect this cable to the large 3-pin connector at the rear of the head.
Visually align the key and gently push and turn the outer locking ring clockwise until it stops. A click
will be sensed to confirm proper mating.
3. Prepare the ground (black) wire:
a. Cut the black wire to the required length plus some additional length for a service loop.
b. Strip insulation back approximately ¼-inch.
c. Crimp a ⅜-inch non-insulated ring terminal (supplied with the cable) to the end of the black wire.
4. Drill a hole, as necessary, and attach this ring terminal to chassis ground.
