Note
Use care when installing the slip-ring bracket. The 9-pin connectors are
keyed. The slip-ring bracket should be fitted on straight (without bending
or angling it) to make sure it engages both connectors simultaneously
and evenly.
F.
Lubricate the threads and under the bolt heads of the four M8 X 1.25
mm bolts with Molykote g-n paste. Insert them through the mounting
holes in the slip-ring bracket and thread them into the transducer.
Torque them to 27 N•m (20 lbf•ft).
G.
Make sure that the covers on the shunt connectors are in place and
secure.
Press the covers over the shunt connector. Secure the covers by
tightening the two SST 10-32 UNF screws (one for each cover), using
an M4 or 5/32 inch hex key wrench, to 3.8 N•m (2.8 ft-lbf).
6. Secure the cable along the restraint tube, as necessary, to prevent it from
rubbing against the tire.
7. Secure the cable along the remainder of its length so that it will not become
damaged during data collection. (For example, tape it to the fender or
frame.)
Important
Be sure to leave enough slack in the cable to allow for the full
range of wheel travel (jounce and steer) so the cable does not
become stretched or damaged during testing.
8. Install the Transducer Interface.
At this point, you should install the transducer interface, verify the quality of
the zero algorithm, and set up data collection. Refer to the SWIFT
