Install your Tilt, Turn Signal Levers and Hazard Knob

Turn Signal Lever:

The turn signal lever is located closest to the

top of the column. With the steering wheel and

adaptor removed, look down at the top of the

column and on the left side you will see a round

screw hole. This secures the lever to the column.

Insert the lever onto the turn signal switch and

insert the provided screw into the screw hole

(not D shaped hole). Use a #2 Phililps screw

driver to tighten the screw until the lever is no

longer loose, the screw will not rub on the brass

piece of the white horn cam.

Tilt Lever:

Located directly below the turn signal lever will be

the treaded hole for the tilt lever. Simply screw the tilt

lever into this hole.

Emergency Flasher Knob:

The Emergency flasher is threaded into the hole

located on the right side of the column. You will

noticed the plastic portion that the flasher screws

into is flush with the outer surface when the flashers

are in the off position. It is easy to accidently turn

the flashers ON while installing which could lead to

problems later. Check to make sure the flashers are

in the OFF position before continuing.

If Column Shift Application:

Place column shift knob onto the shift lever. Once on,

use setscrew (provided) and adjust knob so setscrew

is pointing towards the floor, tighten setscrew. Do not

remove the upper shift lever for any reason! The

tension spring will pop out and it is very difficult to

re-install.

Hook the battery back up and verify that your sig-

nals, brake lights, etc are operating properly. Double

check all fasteners including coupler, dash mount and floor mount to make

sure they are all tight.
