Apply these rules for routing cables: Bend radii should be as generous as practical with a minimum of 150mm for 40 series and 250mm for 60 series.

3. Select Teleflex Morse Push-Pull Cable Both the Range selector and the connection Kit require clamp type connections on the cable with a 75 mm travel. Select a cable to the length required. In most cases a 40 series cable will be adequate, but in cases where long length cable (eg. over 6 meters), very heavy loads, or extra endurance are required, a 60 series cable can be used. Special HD fittings kits are available for these cables

Cable routing should be as straight as possible, the fewer the bends the better the system. Ensure cables are routed away from hot areas, or protect with a heat shield if necessary. Avoid sharp edges and do not force cables to accept unnatural paths by heavy clipping or anchorages if at all possible. Cable Lengths are specified by rod-end to rod-end measurement. For tilt cab installations ensure the length is checked with the cab in the tilt as well as the normal position.

Common questions

Specifying a MAXX Control System involves choosing the appropriate MAXX Range Shift Selector, a compatible Teleflex Morse push-pull cable, and the correct transmission connection kit. Firstly, the base part number specific to the transmission must be selected. Additionally, the appropriate switches and bulb voltage should be considered. The cable hanger plate configuration needs to be determined to ensure the correct cable outlet angle and operation sense. The routing of the cable must favor straight paths and generous bend radii, while avoiding hot areas and sharp edges. Finally, choose a transmission connection kit matching the selected range shift selector and cable, checking compatibility with the transmission arm's direction of movement .

Selecting a transmission connection kit requires ensuring it matches the chosen MAXX Range Shift Selector and cable type. Also, it must agree with the transmission arm's movement direction as specified. Compatibility with the specific vehicle transmission and orientation for reverse operation further influence the selection .

For high endurance applications, the 60 series cable is recommended, particularly where long-length cable over 6 meters, heavy loads, or extra endurance are needed. When routing cables, ensure the bend radii are generous, a minimum of 150mm for 40 series and 250mm for 60 series, and routes avoid hot areas unless a heat shield is used. The cables should be routed in the straightest path possible with minimal bends, avoiding sharp edges and forced anchorage .

The cable hanger plate in the MAXX Control System can be configured for either right or left-hand mounts, with the ability to position the lever in a way that either pulls or pushes the cable when moved forward. Positions 1-2-3-4 indicate a pulling action while 5-6-7-8 indicate a pushing action, depending on the mounting side. This versatility allows the system to be tailored to specific installation requirements and operational dynamics .

In diesel engine configurations with an automatic transmission, the modulator control assembly is a crucial component that facilitates the adjustment of the transmission control signal. The correct modulator is specified by referencing the MAXX Control Accessory's technical sheet, ensuring it matches the system’s requirements .

The MAXX control part number system is structured such that the first character denotes switches and lamp voltage, while the second character indicates the cable hanger position. The third character specifies the cable attachment kit. This structured approach helps in selecting the needed configurations for specific vehicle applications .

The MAXX control system enhances cable shift efficiency by being used in conjunction with TFXtreme cables, achieving the highest efficiency in cable shift control through minimal friction and precise engineering .

The MAXX system’s modular design allows it to be adapted for various transmission and vehicle types through customizable components such as the selectable Range Shift Selector, different cable hanger positions, and interchangeable transmission connection kits .

The MAXX System is designed to complement the vehicle's interior with its clean styling and modular integration, enhancing the vehicle's ergonomics. The system's integration facilitates ease of use and provides an aesthetically pleasing addition to the vehicle's cabin, thereby improving user experience .

The MAXX control system ensures durability through its rugged construction featuring a cast aluminum housing and a steel insert, which provide robustness and lasting performance across various conditions .
