Contact Pressure

Should the contact wheel slip while activating the steering wheel, the contact pressure needs to be increased. Either slide the UniPilot ESM towards the steering wheel or increase the spring preload.
To Increase / Decrease the Spring Preload:
1. Disassemble the UniPilot ESM.
2. Bring the motor to the normal operating position, so that the spring tension against the two mounting screws is at it’s lowest.
3. Loosen the two mounting screws in the assembly base with a 2.5 mm allen wrench, if necessary hold the inside nut with a 8mm open end wrench.
4. To increase pressure move the two mounting screws with the spring ends in direction (1) To reduce pressure move the two mounting screws with the spring ends in direction (2).
5. Once you have the desired spring pressure tighten the two mounting screws.
6. Reassemble the UniPilot ESM to its mounting bracket on the steering column.
