Before painting or powder coating of the cradle, we recommend that you pre-fit the entire system to en-
sure proper fitment for your application.
Note: Before installation make sure the rack is centered by turning the input shaft to the right until it
stops. Next turn the input shaft back the left counting the number of revolutions until you reach the stop.
