Control cable replacement

To replace Control Cables within the
Joystick Controller
First use a screwdriver to slide back the Joystick Collar
according to Fig. 1. Remove the Pivot Post by removing the
cap screw on the underside of the Joystick Housing (see
Fig. 7). Next, remove the Control Cable Positioning Screws
from the Joystick Housing with a screwdriver, according to
Fig. 7 (also refer to Fig.'s 3 &4). Finally, disassemble the
Control Cables from the Joystick Lever and remove them
from the Joystick Housing (see Fig.'s 2 & 7).
For reassembly, repeat the preceding steps in reverse order,
paying special attention to the positioning of the Control
Cables within the Joystick Housing.
Note. Do Not over tighten the Control Cable Positioning
Screws. Their main purpose is to hold the Control Cables in
their correct position. If over tightened, the Joystick
Housing may crack and fail to serve its intended purpose.
When reinserting the Control Cable Positioning Screws,
hold the Control Cable slightly out of position. As the screw
is tightened it will move the Control Cable into place. When
the Control Cable is positioned correctly, stop tightening.
To replace the Control Cables at the
Control Valve:
Remove the screws from the Adjusting Sleeve assembly
and slide the assembly back down the Control Cable (see
Fig. 5). Extract the Locking Pin from the Control Valve
Spool and remove the Control Cable.
Upon reinstallation of the Control Cable to the Control
Valve Spool place the Adjusting Sleeve assembly over the
Control Cable according to Fig. 5 and slide it down such
that there is enough of the Control Cable sticking out to
easily reinsert the Locking Pin through the Control Valve
Spool and the cable together.
Note. When positioning the Adjusting Sleeve assembly,
ensure that the Controller Joystick cannot be moved, by
engaging the Controller Lock.
Now, slide the Adjusting Sleeve assembly up tight to the
Control Valve and reinsert the screws.
