Before you can attach an encoder to the Universal Bracket you need
to remove the encoder from the standard encoder bracket. Remove
the hardware as shown (Right). You may need to lift the encoder up
slightly to remove the wheel. After the wheel is removed the encoder
should now easily slide down and off of the bracket. You should place
the wheel and other hardware back onto the bracket, for safe keeping.
Now attach the encoder to the Universal Encoder Arm. To
do this, place the encoder posts through the holes in the
Encoder Arm as shown (See Fig. 3). Then Slide the encoder
into the notches. The spring isn’t required to hold the
encoder in place, but may be put on if you prefer, or have
problems with the encoder coming off of the Encoder arm.

Figure 5, shows how to attach the
Angle Bracket to the Bottom Plate.
The Angle Bracket is required in this
situation, it gives the encoder attached
to the top plate a place to roll.
When you attach the Angle Bracket
to the Bottom Plate be sure to
attach it low enough for the Top
Plate to pass over it without hitting.
