Screws A

Screws B

Clamps

Shielding

Speedometer

Cable

1) Take out the internal wire

from the shielding.

2) Shorten the shielding by 36

3) Insert both ends of the

shielding in the clamps and

tight the 4 screws B

4) Loosen the 4 screws (A)

and insert the internal wire.

Do not tight the 4 screws A*.

* Attention: when you insert the

internal wire, the dummy shaft must

come out and be disposed off.

Shaft

A) Re-assemble the transmission cable in the car, connecting

it to both the gear box and the odometer.

B) Drive about 100 m to allow the internal wire to find its

original position.

C) Tight the 4 screws A.

D) Insert the sensor’s probe.

E) Fix the sensor’s cap to end the sensor’s assembling

operation and to have the sensor fully operative.
