3.6RF300 Rudder feedback installation

The RF300 Rudder feedback unit mounts close to the rudder, and is mechanically linked to the rudder tiller arm or rudder quadrant.

Refer to Figure 3-2for the recommended mounting arrangement. Note that the RF300 transmitter arm has two slots for the transmission link. The slots enable maximum flexibility to provide the 1:1 mechanical linkage relationship.

Note ! Do not try to remove the transmitter arm from the feedback unit. The unit is factory adjusted and need no further adjustment at installation than described below.

As a starting point, it is desirable to set the transmitter rod to the inner limit of the outer slot if possible. (Refer to Figure 3-2). Drill and tap the rudder tiller arm so that the Y1 dimension is equal to the Y2 dimension (Use 4.2 mm drill and 5 mm tap).
