If you wish to permanently attach the switch to the tractor dash:

a.Drill a 1/2" hole in the lower right hand corner of the tractor's dash as shown in figure 5. A hole larger than 1/2" may cause the nuts on the switch to not hold properly.

b.Remove the hex nut from the actuator switch and then screw the round nut to about the mid-

point on the threads.

c.Insert the switch into the hole you drilled in the tractor's dash and secure it with the hex nut you removed from the switch.

•To connect the switch to the tractor battery, attach the terminal on the red wire (with fuse) to the positive post and the terminal on the black wire to the negative post of the battery.

Route the flexible conduit to the rear of the tractor avoiding hot engine parts, moving parts and pinch points. Connect the plug on the conduit wires to the plug on the actuator wires.

Place the other end of the actuator between the anchor brackets on the mount bracket assembly. Insert the 1/2" x 2" clevis pin through the anchor brackets, securing it with the 3/32" hair cotter pin. See figure 4.
