Wartung

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Grant 989 steering wheel.

Reinigung:

• Schaumstoffgriff: Clean the black foam cushion grip with a mild automotive interior cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
• Stainless Steel Spokes: Wipe the brushed stainless steel spokes with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner can be used, followed by a dry buff.
• Hupenknopf: Clean the horn button with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the button to avoid damaging the emblem or internal components.

Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your Grant 989 steering wheel, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Horn Not Working:
  • Check the horn wiring connections behind the horn button and within the steering column for looseness or damage.
  • Verify the vehicle's horn fuse is intact.
  • Ensure the horn contact ring (part of the installation kit) is making proper contact.
• Steering Wheel Feels Loose:
  • Re-check the torque on all mounting bolts that secure the steering wheel to the adapter hub and the adapter hub to the steering column. Refer to your Grant installation kit manual for specific torque values.
  • Inspect the adapter kit components for any signs of damage or improper fit.
• Steering Wheel Not Centered:
  • If the steering wheel is not centered when the vehicle's wheels are straight, it may have been installed incorrectly. You may need to remove the wheel and re-install it, ensuring proper alignment with the steering column shaft.
  • In some cases, a professional wheel alignment may be necessary if the vehicle's steering components are out of adjustment.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult a qualified automotive technician or contact Grant customer support.
