Control Stick Hook-up
Refer to Figure 2-11:
Refer to Figure 2-12:
1. Route control cable from control stick to solenoid
control box on the cutter and connect to mating pin
connector.
2. Independent Control Only:
a. Wrap deck motor cable around 2" square tubing
once to keep cable from the PTO driveline.
b. Connect orange/black terminal to terminal on the
deck motor switch closest to the solenoid nut.
c. Connect black/white terminal to terminal on the
deck motor switch farthest from solenoid nut.
3. Route power cable to the tractor’s power source or
circuit breaker panel. A 10 Amp or larger fuse/circuit
breaker source should be used.
a. Connect red lead to a 12 VDC positive power
source.
b. Connect black lead to negative 12 VDC power
source.
Refer to Figure 2-13:
4. Find a suitable location to place control stick when
not in use.
a. A suitable location for the control stick is usually
close to the operator’s right-hand side on the
tractor fender or fender console. Exact location
should be convenient for the operator.
b. When in use, grip the control stick such that the
push button switches are easy to access.
IMPORTANT: The RCP is fully operational once the
control stick is hooked-up. To protect the PTO driven
pump, make sure the reservoir is full of hydraulic oil
and that the shut-off valve on the reservoir is turned
“ON” before hooking-up the control stick.
Always disconnect power cable from the tractor
battery or unplug the control switch from the solenoid
control box and deck motor switch before turning
“OFF” the shut off valve. Never turn “OFF” shut off
valve when equipment is in operation.
IMPORTANT: Connect power cable leads only to a
12 VDC power source. Connecting to 24 VDC or
larger will damage electrical system.
Check tractor’s manual to verify how to make a 12
volt hook-up if tractor is equipped with dual 6 volt
batteries. Arm and deck functions will be slow if
hooked-up to the dual 6 volt batteries incorrectly.
NOTE: The control stick wiring includes a 10 amp
fuse on the red power cable. If overheated, the fuse
will open stopping all power to the controls. The fuse
must be replaced before power will resume.
