Assembling manual

1. Insert SS495A1 into its socket in the top part of the lever frame (use a drop of super glue to fix it there) and solder its wires. Route wires as shown on the 3rd picture, use some glue as necessary.

2. Cut off a piece of 10mm square aluminum profile. Choose the length depending on the lever you want to build (as stated in the lever body manual, e.g. 200mm for a single throttle lever)

3. Put the lever connector part onto the rail.

4. Drill a 3mm hole through the rail and insert an M3x20mm screw with a nyloc nut.

5. Drill a 6mm hole for the axis through the rail with a 5,5mm drill.

6. We will be assembling the lever axis. Start with putting an M6x8x18mm hub onto an M6x70mm bolt.

7. Put 3 M8 washers onto the hub

8. Put 2 bearings onto the hub

9. Put a reinforced M6 nut onto the bolt

10. Put an axis though the lever connector part

11. Put a reinforced nut onto the M6 bolt.
