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.
