    INSTALLATION Monitor and control unit location • The BRAVO 400 series computer must be installed in the machine control cabin. Observe the following precautions: - do NOT install the monitor in areas where it would be subjected to excessive vibrations or shocks, to prevent any damage or accidental use of the control keys; - install the device in a visible position within easy reach by hand; bear in mind that the computer should not obstruct the operator’s freedom of movement or block his view. • Control unit (RCU): locate the control unit in the rear side of the machine near the control unit and the oil-hydraulic/pneumatic assemblies.
  • Page 12: Mounting The Bracket

    The control unit must be fixed with the special brackets supplied and fitted to the unit, positioning it as shown in the manual provided with the assembly. MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THE CONTROL UNIT’S MANUAL. 6.6 Location of oil-hydraulic and pneumatic assemblies The oil-hydraulic and pneumatic assemblies must be installed in the machine in a point protected against weather and the liquid sprayed by the machine. ARAG IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CONSEQUENT ON INSTALLATION BY UNQUALIFIED PERSONS. IN CASE OF DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM CAUSED BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR CONNECTIONS, THE WARRANTY IS AUTOMATICALLY VOIDED. WARNING! DO NOT CONNECT OIL-HYDRAULIC / PNEUMATIC ASSEMBLIES OTHER THAN THE FORESEEN ONES (SEE ARAG GENERAL CATALOGUE).
