Installing double remotes

I started the assembly early and I'm now at a stuck point. Your picture let's me confirm what I believed to be the first/single valve. Thanks. I'm putting in both. The instructions say to install the second valve first against the tractor, then the first valve, and then the cover. If you do it in that order, the assembly doesn't match the picture in the instructions and you can't install the adjustable rod link because there is an offset to the connectors on top of the valve. I haven't had a cold one yet but a call to Rick may be coming. Apparently, if you install them in the wrong order and because one has a float function, they won't work. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Thougt I'd just add on. I checked the worshop manual and the diagram is the same as in the instruction sheet. So I don't know why they say to swap the order of assembly. They have labeled the valve in your picture as a double valve assembly and the second one is called detent floating valve assembly. The instructions say to have the floating valve installed last which is contradictory of their install order. The worst that can happen is that they don't work and I have to reverse the two valves. I'll get a picture of the setup once I know it's right.

My words of advise...CALL RICK /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I was missing the cover which originally came with the tractor and I was lost. Rick shipped it that day.
I also expected the "hoses" to be rubber like the ones on the existing valve. I called Rick and he politely told me they were the metal things. I'm not gonna say I felt like a dope, but I did question my level of intelligence /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Tom,
I'm back at it after a call to Rick. He said the first valve, the one you have pictured, stays next to the tractor's case and then the second valve, which looks a little different, slides on the studs with the cover last. That's the way the diagram shows them but the written instructions are different. Rick's advise; don't read the instructions, look at the picture. Must be some more bad translation.
Hey John, you should get a full time job with Kioti to write their material and that would make it easier on everyone.
I haven't posted any pictures on TBN but will give it a try once all the parts are together. Like Tom's, a picture is worth 1000 words, especially if you are trying to understand the translated version.
Sodamo, The install isn't as hard as it looks once you start to see how it goes together. I cheated a little and took the fender off. I think the few minutes spent removing the fender saves you more time with the install, especially with adding both valves and you don't have to lay on the ground. No cold ones yet. Maybe after I'm done and there are no leaks. Good Luck.

The double remotes are installed and working. Did a pressure test and had a little leak where the QD attach to the filter connectors. Removed and then reinstalled with a little teflon tape on the threads. Now no leaks
