STEP 8. Place the nut on the threaded rod.
STEP 9. Measure and cut the threaded rod with a
hacksaw. Use the chart, Figure 8, to determine the
length.
STEP 10. Remove the nut over the cut end of the
threaded rod. This cleans the threads after cutting.
STEP 11. Thread the cut end of the rod into the hub,
STEP 12. Install the ceiling plate. The rotate/lock lever
must point toward the rear of the vehicle.
Be sure rotate/lock lever is pointing toward back of
vehicle and hole in ceiling aligns with hole in the
ceiling plate.
NOTE: Make sure large and small keyways line up
in the hub and directional handle!
STEP 13. Measure and cut the directional
handle; see Figure 9 and chart, Figure 8. NOTE:
A tube cutter is recommended for cutting the
directional handle. This gives a square cut; a
hacksaw does not. If using an extension, see
Step 17.
Figure 10, page 8, shows what points to measure
between, with and without a roof wedge.
