    NOTE:
    • Make sure the sensor is installed to the specified torque.
    • If the sensor has been dropped, or there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, brackets or connector, replace the removed sensor. Always replace the set bolt and nut with new ones.
    • The sensor set bolt and nut have been anti-rust treated. When the sensor is removed, always replace the set bolt and nut with new ones.
    • After installation, shake the sensor to check that there is no looseness.
