- Before refitting the sensor, grease the mounting hole and the sensor.
- Fit the sensor with the arrow on the end of the sensor pointing down.
If the sensor is fitted the wrong way round, the weight indicated will be
incorrect.
- Insert the sensor into its housing, taking care not to damage the wire.
When refitting the sensor, it should slide into its housing without being
forced. If the sensor does not go in easily, check the mounting hole;
repair or replace the mounting if necessary.

- Connect the wires on the connector in the right order (see the section on “Connecting to the printed
circuit board”.
