Step 2 - Install Steering Cable

1. Either port can be used for steering cable
entry. The most convenient for the
installation should be selected. The spent
cable tube attaches to the opposite port.
Steering direction can be reversed either by
reversing the motor brush leads or by
software in the course computer setup.
2. Apply some grease on the inner cable and
install steering cable into drive port. Guide
inner cable into port and exert moderate force
using 2 hands to drive cable around the
driving hub. This action will back drive the
unit and the inner cable will appear out of the
opposite port. To complete the cable
installation, the cable outer jacket will enter
the port and butt against the drive housing.
This will enable the insertion of the lock bolt.
3. Note that undue force required to drive the
inner cable around the driving hub may be
caused by the leading edge of the inner cable
gouging into outer face of the nylon guide.
Remove the cable and inspect the leading
edge for sharp edges, if possible, twist the
cable and re insert with sharp edge towards
inside of radius or using a burr type tool
remove the sharp edges.
