Before switching on
Remove the fuel effect (two screws) and check that the lamps and
flicker rotors are positioned correctly – see Fig. 4, page 3.
The flicker rotors should sit horizontally on their pins and spin

the bracket by bending slightly.
Refit the fuel effect by inserting the front edge first, then
secure it with the two screws.
