Steering Wheel: Installation

  1. Before installing the steering wheel, make sure the front wheels are aligned straight ahead, then center the cable reel (A). Do this by first rotating the cable reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it counterclockwise about two and half turns. The arrow mark (B) on the cable reel label point should point straight up.
