Before painting or powder coating of the cradle, we recommend that you pre-t the entire system to en-

sure proper tment for your application.

Note: Before installation make sure the rack is centered by turning the input shaft to the right until it
stops. Next turn the input shaft back the left counting the number of revolutions until you reach the stop.
Then go back half the number of revolutions. the Rack should now be centered in its travel.
