OPERATOR INSTALLATION Removing the Cable Shield The Cable Shield needs to be removed before mounting the D5-Evo SMART onto its Foundation Plate. This is done by levering the bottom end of the cable shield away from the motor until it unclips from the Gearbox, and then slide it up.
Section View A-A FIGURE 43. CABLE ROUTING FOR RETRO-FITS WITH LONGER CABLES The method shown in Figure 43 above, is recommended for retro-fit installations, as it is easier to remove the motor should it be necessary to do so at a later stage. However, cable lengthening may be required. page 32 www.centsys.com...
