STEP 4 (Figure 2.16) Gently pull the coil cable from the channel
underneath the lower shaft.
STEP 5 (Figure 2.18) Loosen the yoke nut and carefully remove the
bolt from the yoke bracket. This removes the yoke from the
search coil. Be careful not to lose the two plastic washers.
STEP 6 Replace the search coil. Be careful not to damage the
thread of the nut by over-tightening.
STEP 7 (Figure 2.17). Starting at the top of the lower shaft, carefully
feed the coil cable back into the channel at the rear of the
lower shaft so that the curled cable is in line with the shaft.
There should be to inch (3-5mm) of cable exposed
between the cable curls and the start of the lower shaft. Once
this is completed you should be able to see approximately 6
inches (150mm) of cable between the coil yoke and the
search coil. This is the slack necessary to allow adjustment to
the angle of the search coil.
STEP 8 To replace the coil cable access panel ensure that the
coil cable aligns with the semicircular hole at the side of
the coil yoke and gently ease the coil cable access panel
into the top of the recess until its prongs are well within
the recess. Check again to ensure that the cable is snugly
lodged in the semicircular hole.
STEP 9 (Detail in Figure 2.15). Using a screwdriver in the slot, prize
the panel back flush into place.
STEP 10 Reconnect cable to control box (as directed in
Connecting the shaft assembly, page 16).
NOTE If you have difficulty retrieving coil cable from
within the upprt shaft it will be necessary to shorten the
overall shaft length to allow the necessary slack.
