Carefully follow the recommended wire
sizes shown in the wiring diagrams. Plan
installation so the battery is close to
engine and use the following cable sizes:
#1 - for distances up to 8 feet
#1/0 - for distances up to 10 feet
#2/0 - for distances up to 13 feet
#3/0 - for distances up to 16 feet
MECHANICAL CONTROLS
The recommended practice is to have the
stop-run lever loaded to the run position
and controlled by a sheathed cable to a
push-pull knob at the pilot station. The
throttle lever should be connected to a
Morse
type lever at the pilot station by
a
sheathed cable.
The transmission control lever may be
connected to the pilot station by a flex-
ible, sheathed cable and controlled by a
Morse
type lever. The single-lever type
gives clutch and throttle control with
full throttle range in neutral position.
The two-lever type provides clutch control
with one lever and throttle control with
the other.
Any bends in the control cables should
be gradual. End sections at engine and
transmission must be securely mounted.
After linkages are completed, check the
installation for full travel, making sure
that, when the transmission control lever
at the pilot station is in forward,
neutral and reverse, the control lever on
the transmission is on the respective
detent. Check the throttle control lever
and the stop-run lever on the fuel injec-
tion pump for full travel.
Some models do not require a stop
cable
because they have either a fuel
solenoid or
an electric fuel pump.
Examples of such models are the W58,
W13, W27 and W33.
