Clockspring Adjustment

WARNING: If the clockspring is not correctly centralized, it may fail prematurely. If in doubt, repeat the centralizing procedure. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE: Typical clockspring shown in illustration, others similar.
  1. NOTE: Do not over-rotate the clockspring inner rotor. The internal ribbon wire is connected to the clockspring rotor. The internal ribbon wire acts as a stop and can be broken from its internal connection. Failure to follow this instruction may result in component damage and/or system failure.
    NOTE: After final positioning, do not allow the clockspring rotor to rotate from this position.
    1. Turn the rotor clockwise until resistance is felt.
    2. Turn the rotor counterclockwise through approximately 3.75 complete turns, until the arrow on the rotor aligns to the arrow on the housing.
