Attaching SWIFT and Wheel Assembly to the Vehicle

1. Before installing the SWIFT and wheel assembly, attach the anti-rotate

bracket (customer supplied) to the vehicle.

Because the bracket is unique to each vehicle the anti-rotate bracket must be
provided by the customer. The following are guidelines for manufacturing
and locating the bracket. See the next two figures.

The bracket must be stiff, preferably steel or stainless steel tubing, so as
not to move or rotate when connected to an unsprung mass or spindle
which will allow the slip ring assembly to move with the tire as the
vehicle is moving or testing.

The bracket must be positioned so as not to hit the fender at the
extreme end of the suspension travel.

The bracket must maintain a minimum clearance from the tire so as not
to hit the tire when it is loaded and rotating.
