CAUTION

• Do not disassemble the front wheel hub assembly.
• The magnetic encoder collects any metallic particle easily, because it is magnetized. Make sure

that the magnetic encoder should not collect any metallic particle. Check that there is not any
trouble prior to reassembling it.

• When the front wheel hub assembly is removed and installed, make sure that the magnetic

encoder does not contact with surrounding parts to avoid damage.

•

Post-installation Operation
Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by pushing it with
your finger.
