mounting screws first then follow the same steps
as described below.
1. Rotate the flywheel so that the magnets are away
from where the module is mounted.

3. Place a non-ferrous feeler gauge between the mod-
ule and the flywheel. See Figure 7.16.

mm).

legs of the module while holding the feeler gauge in
place. See Figure 7.17.

89 in lbs (10Nm).
