Declination Motor Installation

1. Pass the power cable of the motor assembly through the opening I the fork arm and

plug it into the RJ-45 jack inside the fork arm.

2. Center the motor assembly over the two threaded mounting holes in the fork arm

housing. Note that some motor assemblies have a step in the base of mount which

requires a special mounting plate. We recommend you smear some grease on the

base and mounting plate to hold them together while installing the motor assembly.

3. Keep pressure on the spring in the hinge of the motor assembly and carefully align

the teeth of the worm wheel with the worm gear.

4. Center the left mounting hole in the motor assembly with the threaded hole in the fork

arm base. Loosely thread in the left mounting screw, center the right mounting hole

and thread in the right mounting screw.

5. Adjust the tube assembly so the motor assembly is shifted left. This allows the worm

wheel to clear the reduction gear box and for proper meshing of the worm gear and

worm wheel.
