PART V–INSTALLATION–FRONT MOUNT
1. TRANSMITTER.
Remove the front wheel. Count the number of spokes in the wheel.
Use the 4- prong transmitter for 32-spoke wheels, and the 3-prong transmitter for 36 or 28-spoke
wheels. If necessary remove the magnet and metal ring from one housing and move it to the
other. Keep the strong side of the magnet facing out as originally installed. The transmitter snaps
on the flange of a standard, low-flange hub. After attaching the transmitter reinstall the wheel.
You can also attach the front transmitter with ties if your hub flange is too large or small for it to
snap on. Cut off the transmitter prongs with scissors, then attach it to the spoke crossings.

2a. MOUNTAIN RECEIVER.
Fits any fork. If you have a suspension fork or a mountain
bike fork with fat blades that taper for the slotted ends, use the mountain receiver. Clean and dry
the front of the right fork blade. Slide the receiver into its holder (wires on the inside). Loosen the
pivot screw and install the fork pad loosely on the front of the right fork blade with two cable ties
inserted through the holes in the pad. Pivot and rotate the receiver until it touches the transmitter
magnet. Tighten the pivot screw with the receiver against the front of the fork. Tighten and trim
the cable ties, and fine-tune the adjustment by sliding the receiver in its holder until it nearly
touches the transmitter.
