Leave the sensor loose on the bracket and find a suitable location for the magnet. The
magnet will be bonded onto the brake rotor inside of the actual brake contact surface.
WARNING: NEVER BOND THE MAGNET TO THE ACTUAL BRAKING SURFACE
OR IN SUCH A WAY AS TO IMPEDE THE BRAKES OPERATIONS. THIS CAN
LEAD TO BRAKE IMPAIRMENT AND INJURY. The best location is on a rib of the
rotor, inside the contact surface and aligned radially to pass past the sensor (see Fig. 9,
below ).

Clean the area onto which you will bond the magnet thoroughly with the alcohol swab
and/or commercially available brake clean aerosol. Next, place a small amount of the
quick-setting epoxy provided onto the magnet and then hold the magnet in place for at least
2 minutes while the epoxy sets.
5.
Adjust the sensor to come within NO MORE than .200” (5.5mm) of the magnet as the
wheel rotates. Tighten jamb nuts to hold securely. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, AS THE
SENSOR IS PLASTIC AND YOU MAY DAMAGE THE THREADS ON THE SENSOR.
6.
Use the tie wraps provided to tidy up the wire back to the connector. (see Fig. 10)Use
caution as to not place the wires to close to the chain, sprockets or exhaust pipes and
headers.
