You are now ready to install the QBOT
‘Brain’ and make the connections to the
Quilter’s Cruise Control. If you have a
Quilter’s Cruise Control that is ‘hardwired’,
meaning the encoder wires go directly
into the Quilter’s Cruise Control ‘Brain’,
please leave your encoders placed on your
carriages. There is no need to remove
them.
Loosen the two screws in the front of your
handle assembly with the 4mm hex key.
Loosen these so there is a gap of about
1/8” between the handle assembly and
the handle support frame.
If you have a Quilter’s Cruise Control
with modular encoder wire connectors
like the ones shown in the pictures to the
right, then you may remove the optical
encoders and their mounting brackets
from your frame.
Slide the QBOT bracket in the gap that
you just made. The QBOT bracket will
slide down until it rests on the screws that
you loosened. When the bracket is down
as far as it will go, tighten the two screws
using the 4mm hex key.
