3. Install the module and hex. flange screws to
bracket. Move module as far from flywheel as
possible—tighten hex. cap screws slightly.
4. Insert a .014" flat feeler gauge or shim stock be-
tween magnet and module. Loosen the hex.
flange screws so magnet pulls the module against
feeler gauge (refer to Figure 11-39). Tighten the
hex flange screws securely. Remove the feeler
gauge or shim stock. Due to the pull of the mag-
net, the magnet-to-module air gap should be
within the final range of .008"/.012".
