• RESPONSIBILITY The installer must carry out "workmanlike" installations and ensure to the end user the perfect operation of the whole system both with ARAG components only and other brands' components. ARAG always recommends using its components to install control systems.
INSTALLATION Control unit fixing Secure the control units on the back of the machine, close to the control unit and the hydraulic unit. Consider all necessary connections of the device (par. 5.3), the cable length, and make sure there is enough space for connectors and cables.
• Use of unsuitable cables not provided by ARAG automatically voids the warranty. • ARAG is not liable for any damage to the equipment, persons or animals caused by failure to observe the above instructions. General precautions for a correct harness position •...
• Use ARAG valves: use of unsuitable valves not provided by ARAG automatically voids the warranty. ARAG is not liable for damage to the equipment, persons or animals caused by failure to observe the above instructions. • All valve connectors must be provided with seals before being connected (Fig. 9).
• Boom lighting / flashing light (with Arag light control kit ONLY) All ARAG sensors use the same type of connector. Connect the sensor connector to the relevant harness; make sure it is correctly fitted and push it until locking it.
Connection: Fit the connectors (in-cab connection in Fig. 14), ensure they are correctly in place and turn the ring nut clockwise until blocking them. *ARAG Auxiliary Input control system is not compulsory on all systems, and must thus be ordered separately.
