Installing the Level Sensing Cables

To install the level sensing cable:

1Plug the right-angle connector on one end of the cable into socket one on the back of the Z-arm.

2Snap the cable into the LLD cable guide (refer to the picture above).

3Loosen the small hexagonal nut on the probe holder for probe one. Attach the split-tongue connector to the nut. Retighten the nut until snug (approximately one turn after finger tightening).

4Repeat for probes 2 through 4.
