🔧 Installation Tips
-
Confirm wire orientation—it’s non‑polarised (green wire can be used either way).
-
Inspect the backing plate lever arm and wear surface before installing.
-
Replace magnets in pairs if opposing wheel shows different wear levels.
-
After installing, test brake operation and check for proper contact and magnet alignment.
