WARNING WARNING WARNING
IGNITION ELECTRICAL:
This is it… We’re sorting the men from the boys now!! All joking aside this is where
the truth comes out. Remember that we told you earlier that there is NO fuse in this
system. This means that the next step, will either happen perfectly OR you’ll have a
problem. You are about to plug the ignition system together. If there was a problem
with the wiring or a dead short anywhere, this is where it will show up! We advise
that you plug this connector in only enough to make contact. Not enough to latch the
clip on the plug. If there is a short, the Red wire will get very hot and begin to burn.
So if you are not comfortable with your wiring…watch out for this!!! This is another
great chance to utilize your helper to make sure the plug can be unplugged.
INSTALLING YOUR LEVERS AND HAZARD KNOB
TURN SIGNAL LEVER:
The signal lever is the lever closest to the top of
the column. With the steering wheel and adaptor
removed, look down from the top of the column and
you’ll see where a single screw holds the signal lever
in place. Insert the new lever using the provided screw
into round hole (not D shaped hole). When installing
this lever in a new column, use the screw supplied
to fasten the lever in the recessed area on the signal
switch arm.
TILT LEVER:
Look directly below the turn signal lever, and you’ll see
another opening in the column. Inside this opening is a
threaded hole which the new lever screws into.
EMERGENCY FLASHER KNOB:
Almost directly opposite the turn lever on the steering
column is another opening. Inside this opening is a hole
in the nylon switch. Simply screw the new knob in place
(clockwise). When completing installation of flasher knob
make sure that the knob is in the out (off), position so
when finished wiring you don’t have any complications.
