Instructions

  1. Position the bearing offset plate before installing the spacers. If the offset plate is difficult to install with the spacers, check the length of the ballscrews. If it is 740 (S) - 1140 (M/L) mm instead of 735(S) - 1135(M/L)mm, replace the offset plate with 4 washers of size M4.
    1. Place one spacer and secure its position with a screw.
      1. Pre-tighten the screw with a locknut.
        1. Install the three screws left using the same technique.
          1. Repeat these operations on the other mirror assembly.
            Do not fully tighten the locknuts now.
