Do not remove the protective tape on the metal plate of the pod until you are ready to apply the epoxy adhesive – removing the tape prematurely will result in contamination of the pod and may interfere with the accuracy and reliability of the power meter2.  Once the protective tape on the metal plate of the pod has been removed, do not touch the metal plate or place the metal plate on any surfaces – will result in contamination of the pod and may interfere with the accuracy and reliability of the power meter3.  Once the protective tape of the pod has been removed, do not place the protective tape or any other material back on the metal plate – only the provided epoxy adhesive should be placed on the metal plate4.  Do not put any other tape on the metal plate on the pod or the crank arm, doing so will contaminate the surfaces and impact the accuracy of the power meter
1. Compatibility Check1.1 Crank arm compatibilityEnsure that the crank arm has a at surface for installing the PrecisionTM power meter pod.4 55.   Do not open the adhesive pack until you are ready to apply the adhesive for installation – do not use the ad-hesive if it has been opened for more than 5 minutes6.   Only use supplied cleaning wipes for your installation – do not sand or use any other cleaning agents on the pod7.    Only apply epoxy adhesive directly to the metal base of the pod – do not put adhesive on your crank arm8.   Do not attempt to clean o the excess epoxy with any solvents – doing so may damage your power meter9.   Only perform the pod installation in temperatures above 20°C or 68°F – doing so will not allow the adhe-sive to cure properly and will impact the accuracy of the power meter10.   Do not expose the pod to temperatures above 50°C or 122°F 11.   Do not install the pod on uneven or curved surfaces on the crank arm12.   Do not install this power meter pod on carbon ber crank arms1.2 Clearance CheckMake sure there is enough room between the crank arm and the bicycle frame to install the PrecisionTM power meter pod. A minimum of 2 mm or 3/32 inch of space is present between the PrecisionTM pod and the bike frame Do not remove the protective tape on the metal plate at the bottom of the pod – doing so may interfere with the accuracy and reliability of the power meter.To avoid contamination of the metal plate, clean your crank arm with soap and water prior to performing the clearance check. Once the crank arm has been thoroughly cleaned, dry the area with a lint-free cloth or shop rag. >2 mmVisit www.4iiii.com/precision to see the crank arm compatibility list and make sure your crank arm is listed as being compatible with the PrecisionTM. The compatibility list is frequently updated.  >3/32 in!!!Figure 1.1Figure 1.2
1.2.1 Pod PlacementLocate a at area on the inner face of the crank arm for installing the PrecisionTM power meter pod. There should be a minimum of 40 mm or 1 5/8 inches between the pod location and the pedal spindle.1.2.3 Clearance CheckWith the PrecisionTM pod xed onto the crank arm as shown in section 1.2.2, slowly and carefully rotate the crank arm 1 full revolution to ensure there is no interference between the pod and any part of the bicycle frame.Do not place the pod over uneven surfaces, decals, stickers, rivets, or screw holes on the crank arm. Doing so will interfere with the accuracy of the power meter. 1.2.2 Using Installation Tool and Installation BandPlace and hold the metal plate of the PrecisionTM pod on the crank arm as shown in section 1.2.1 and secure the pod on the crank arm using the provided installation tool and installation band. Pull the installation band around the crank arm and attach them to the hooks on the pod.Slide the installation tool under the band and x the pod in place with the installation tool.If the pod interferes with the frame or any other components on the bicycle, do not proceed further with the installation. Contact your retailer for assistance. If your pod was purchased directly from 4iiii Innovations, contact 4iiii online at www.4iiii.com/support/software-and-documentation.!!76Figure 1.3Figure 1.4Figure 1.5Figure 1.6
2.2.2 Clean Crank ArmThoroughly clean the crank arm with soap and water to remove all dust and residue from sanding. Allow the crank arm to fully dry before adhering the pod.2.3 Adhering the PodBefore adhering the pod, ensure the following items are readily accessible:• PrecisionTM pod • PrecisionTM  install band• PrecisionTM  install tool• Cleaning wipes (2x)• Epoxy adhesive packs• Adhesive applicator• Clean printer paper1.2.4 Marking Install LocationWith the PrecisionTM pod xed onto the crank arm as shown in section 1.2.2, place a small mark on your crank using a pencil or permanent marker adjacent to the center mark on the pod. This is use to mark the location of the pod for installation using the provided epoxy adhesive.Sand lengthwiseDo not open or mix the adhesive pack until you are ready to apply the adhesive for in-stallation – do not use the adhesive if it has been opened for more than 5 minutes.!2. Pod Installation2.1 Install LocationPrior to installing the PrecisionTM power meter on your crank arm, ensure the pod has the necessary clearance for the bicycle as shown in igure 1.2, in section 1. Once a suitable lo-cation for the pod has been found, mark the install location as shown in section 1.2.4.2.2 Preparing Crank SurfaceBefore the PrecisionTM pod can be adhered to the crank arm, the crank arm surface must be sanded and thoroughly cleaned. Do not attempt to dry the crank arm with paper towel or a cloth that may leave lint or other particles on your crank. To reduce drying time, you may use a lint free shop towel to dry the crank surface.!Do not open or mix the adhesive pack until you are ready to apply the adhesive for installation – do not use the adhesive if it has been opened and/or mixed for more than 5 minutes.2.3.1 Prepare AdhesiveTear open the two epoxy adhesive packets squeeze the ad-hesive onto a clean piece of printer paper. Mix the adhesive thoroughly with the adhesive applicator.Only perform the pod installation in tempera-tures above 20°C or 68°F – doing so will not allow the adhesive to cure properly and will impact the performance and reliability of the power meter.!!89Figure 1.7Figure 2.1
2.3.2 Wipe Crank ArmOpen one of the cleaning wipes and wipe the installation location of the crank arm. Slide the installation tool under the band and x the pod in place with the installation tool.2.3.3 Remove Protective TapeRemove the protective tape on the metal plate of the pod.Only use supplied cleaning wipes for your instal-lation – do not sand or use any other cleaning agents on the pod.!2.3.4 Apply AdhesiveUsing the adhesive applicator, spread the mixed epoxy adhe-sive onto the metal plate of the pod. Ensure the entire metal plate has a uniform layer of adhesive material.Only apply epoxy adhesive directly to the metal base of the pod – do not put adhesive on your crank arm.2.3.5 Fix Pod on Crank ArmPlace and hold the PrecisionTM pod on the install location as marked on the crank arm in section 1.2.1 and secure the pod on the crank arm using the provided installation tool and installation band. Pull the installation band around the crank arm and attach them to the hooks on the pod.!Do not attempt to clean o the excess epoxy with any solvents – doing so may damage your power meter.2.3.6 Curing AdhesiveSet the crank arm aside with the pod facing down for 8 hours in a warm location at room temperature and allow the adhesive to cure.!Do not allow the pod to cure in tempera-tures below 20°C or 68°F – doing so will not allow the adhesive to cure properly and will impact the accuracy of the power meter.Do not expose the pod to temperatures above 50°C or 122°F.!!10 11Figure 2.2Figure 2.3Figure 2.4Figure 2.5Figure 2.6
