• Now remove the bolt, which fixes the cable to the spring cylinder. Mount the spring
provided and fix it using the provided bolt, washer and nut. Apply blue Loctite 243 to the
nuts threads.
• Equip the other nose wheel cable with a spring as well.
• Make sure the loop at the end of the spring is turned the right way, so that the spring
moves freely and unhindered. Also ensure that the spring is mounted on the correct side,
relative to the cable. Both springs, when mounted, should lie between the cables (see
photos below).
• The systems base foundation should be placed approximately 40 mm inwards towards the
engine from the end of the black plastic covering. If you have not yet installed the plastic
covering, you can place the systems base foundation approximately 80 mm from the hole
in the cockpit's floor for electric cables (as shown in the photo below).
• When you've found the right position, mark it and the holes with a pen.
• Clean the surface of the cockpit's floor. Use a knife to scrape away any silicon if need be.
