3.6 RF300 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 3-2 for 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).
