Installing the Transducer
B. Align the bracket welded on one end of the tube with the mounting bolt
hole on the slip ring and the other end with the slot in the anti-rotate
bracket.
Through experimentation, measure and bend the tube around the wheel
and to the slot in the anti-rotate bracket while considering the
following:
• Space must be allowed for flexing of the tire.
• The end of the tube should fit in the slot far enough to prevent it from
bouncing out when the ATV is moving. The end can extend through
the slot as long as it does not contact any obstructions.
• With the bracket welded to the tube attached to the slip ring, the other
end of the tube should fit in the slot of the anti-rotate bracket mid-
way from front to back.
• The end of the tube in the slot should not bind against the top and
bottom of the slot. Binding can cause a bending moment on the slip
ring which can shorten the life of the slip ring bearings.
Before tightening the fasteners, check for binding or obstructions.
While an assistant fully loads and unloads the suspension several times,
check that the end of the tube in the slot does not contact the front or
rear of the slot or bind against the top and bottom of the slot. Make
adjustment as necessary.
C. Secure the bracket on the end of the tube to the slip ring.
Torque the two M4 fasteners in the slip ring to 3.2 N•m (2.4 lbf•ft).
