connection.
While turning the rotor counterclockwise, carefully feel for the ribbon wire to run out of length and for a slight resistance. Stop turning at this
point.
3. Turn the clockspring clockwise approximately three turns. This is the center point of the clockspring.

Do not allow the rotor to turn from this position.
