Attaching the Steering Wheel

Once the steering wheel is seated at the mechanical limit, turn the SQRA screw nut in the closed lock direction until the indicator line is completely covered.
NOTE: Do not compress the rubber ring when tightening the wheel base locking nut.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten or use any tools to tighten the screw nut.
