===Wiring===
* The keyswitch has spade connectors for wiring and bolts to the frame for stability.  These should be connected with matching crimp-on connectors.
::[[Image:keyswitch.jpg]]
* Connect the remaining wires, as in the diagram below:
::[[Image:wiringdiagram.png]]
* Note that the thicker lines represent the heavier wires that will carry high electrical current.
===Keyswitch and Choke Installation===
* Install the keyswitches in the brackets and wire as in the wiring illustration below.
::[[image:KeyswitchWiring.jpg]]
* If your engine has a manual choke control, secure the choke control in its bracket.
===Choke installation===
* NOTE: Only necessary if your engine has a manual choke adjustment!
* Secure the engine choke knob as shown in the illustration below

Intro to Power Cube Construction Script [[1]]

Preparation

  1. Safety
  2. Workspace
  3. Tools

Subassembly Fabrication

The purpose of this section is to cut the raw steel into required lengths and shapes as required for final assembly. These step includes drilling and cutting steel up to 3/8” in thickness.

  1. Engine & Hydraulic Pump mounts
  2. Quick attach mounts
  3. Fuel tank
  4. Oil Cooler Mount
  5. Key Switches and Choke
  6. Electrical cables
  7. Battery Mount
  8. Mufflers
  9. Hydraulic reservoir

Assembly

Power Cube assembly requires all the parts listed in the Bill Of Materials to be available and prepared as detailed in the “Fabrication” section (above). Assembly requires a welder (electric or torch) capable of welding metal 3/8” thick.

A Power Cube Jig can be very useful during the welding stage:

Power Cube Frames welding - 45 minutes per frame with one person assisting on jig clamping.
  1. Frame
  2. Gas tank
  3. Hydraulic tank
  4. Engine and Hydraulic Motor Mount
  5. Battery mount
  6. Quick Attach Plates
  7. Oil cooler and fan mounts
  8. Keyswtich and Choke Brackets
  9. Solenoid Mounting Bolts
  10. Finish and Painting
  11. Install Hydraulic Components
  12. Install Solenoid
  13. Install Mufflers
  14. Wiring
  15. Keyswitch and Choke Installation
  16. Choke installation
  17. Throttle


Final touches

  • Install engine and secure with bolts, nuts and washers
  • Connect wiring to key switch and solenoid
  • Connect fuel line
  • Connect coupling to engine shaft
  • Install hydraulic pump on coupling and secure with nuts & washers
  • Install fan and hydraulic oil cooler
