Insert the forward element into the forward socket
with its arrow pointing in the direction of forward
power. Insert the reflected element into the reflected
socket with its arrow pointing in the direction of
reverse power.
Element Contact Alignment
Continuous insertion or rotation of the element might
cause a slight change in the position of the contact
spring in the element socket. If the contact spring
changes position, erratic power readings may be
experienced.
The position of the contact spring may be adjusted
with a small screwdriver to reestablish contact.
Perform the following steps to adjust the contact spring:
1. Using a small flat head screwdriver, place the flat
side of the screwdriver behind the contact bar as
indicated and bend the contact bar so that the con-
tact rests in the center of the slot adjacent to the
element socket.
CAUTION
If the element cannot be fully inserted into the
socket, do not force it. This may damage the
element.
