	Take the plastic encoder wheel and place it on the shaft with the comb-shaped edge facing the motor. Slowly slide the wheel onto the shaft until the combs are ~~in front of~~ the optical sensor ~~on the PCB~~. Be careful not to push so far that the wheel is contacting components on the PCB.		Take the plastic encoder wheel and place it on the shaft with the comb-shaped edge facing the motor. Slowly slide the wheel onto the shaft until the combs are aligned with the bubble on the optical sensor (Outlined in red below). Be careful not to push so far that the wheel is contacting components on the PCB (outlined in green below).

	Take the plastic base, the encoder PCB, and two screws. Use the 8mm screws if they fit your motor, or the 6mm screws if those are too long. Place the PCB inside the base in the orientation shown above so that it fits in. Place the combined base and PCB on the back of the motor such that the mounting holes line up with the holes in the base. There are two orientations possible- use whichever is more convenient for motor wiring. Place the screws in the two holes in the PCB and screw until the base and PCB are firmly attached, being careful not to over-tighten and damage the pieces.
