Chapter 2: Installing the system
Note:
If the wheel is bent or not running true, dimension A will change with the wheel position.
Measure the smallest distance.
3. Use a hacksaw to cut the pin 10 mm (0.4 in) LONGER than dimension A.
Remove any sharp edges at the cut end with sandpaper or a file.
4. Place the pin end in slot 1 or 2 (as required):
to do this you may need to loosen the wheel nut so you can slide the wheel forward
slightly, place the pin end in the slot, return the wheel to its normal position and re-
tighten the wheel nut
Note:
You can install the pedestal bracket either way up. In the standard orientation the pin is at
the bottom (below the mounting holes – see diagram). If obstructions on the pedestal prevent
you from using the standard orientation, you can install the bracket so the pin is at the top (above
the mounting holes).
5. Making sure the slot is central at the bottom of the drive unit (6 o'clock position)
and the pin is in the middle of the slot, carefully draw around the bracket.
