INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE RECEIVER:
Select a suitable location on the machine that will protect the receiver box from impact damage. A location
that protects the receiver from direct exposure to the weather is desirable. If the box must be located
outside, mount it with the power and antenna cables facing down to allow water to drain away.
! IMPORTANT:
The receiver box is supplied with rubber shock mounts to prevent damage from shock or vibration. Be
sure to install the shock mounts on machines that vibrate during operation or transport! Use only the
mounting flanges provided on the box. Do not drill into the receiver box!
MOUNTING THE RECEIVER ANTENNA:
The receiver antenna assembly consists of a mounting bracket with attached coax. cable, and a
removable whip antenna. The mounting bracket should be located as high as possible on the outside of
the machine such that the whip antenna is vertical. The bracket may be bolted to the metal frame but do
not allow the antenna whip to contact metal parts.
INSTALLATION
RECEIVER WIRING:
The receiver box is supplied with a 3 ft. "pigtail" cable that must be connected to the machine remote
control interface. The wires in the pigtail cable are individually labeled as to function. The following chart
relates the receiver connector wiring to the machine functions:

The receiver also contains a separate ground lug and wire. Connect the ground lug to a solid, clean
ground point on the machine.
OPERATION
TRANSMITTER:
Switching the Transmitter ON and OFF:
To switch on the transmitter first release the red STOP button by turning clockwise, then momentarily
press the ON button. (The transmitter will not switch on if the STOP button is depressed). The ON light will
glow red indicating the transmitter is on and ready to use. The receiver will now respond to the function
switches. When finished operating depress the STOP button to switch off the transmitter and disable the
receiver output relays.
Enable Button:
The Wheels and Reels switches will not operate unless the Enable button is also pressed "at the same
time".
Auto Shut-Off:
The transmitter incorporates an auto shut-off feature. If no control switches are operated over a three
minute period, the transmitter will switch off automatically. The ON switch must then be pressed again to
resume operation.
Battery Indicator:
The ON light is also used to indicate battery level. When the light is solidly on, the battery level is
acceptable. If it blinks, the batteries require charging.
Charging the Transmitter Battery:
The transmitter is powered by a standard 9.6V Makita power tool battery, and a Makita charger is supplied
to re-charge the battery. Please read the instructions provided with the Makita charger. To remove the
battery, grasp the ring on the battery door and turn counter-clockwise to release the locking mechanism.
The door may now be opened and the case tilted to allow the battery to slide out. (A slight "tap" is
sometimes necessary to dislodge the battery from the contact terminals.)
