Sensor Position

  1. Install sensor positioning gauge over yoke making sure gauge is against flat of shaft. Move sensor to side until gauge can be positioned. Snug down retaining screw. Remove and then install gauge. If sensor is properly positioned, no sensor side movement should be detected when gauge is removed or installed.
  2. Tighten screw and recheck sensor position. When trigger wheel is installed, sensor core should be positioned in center of trigger wheel legs and legs should not touch sensor core. See Fig 1.
