2. Read the instructions on the template before proceeding with the installation.
3. Tape the template to the chosen mounting location.
4. Drill the four mounting hole locations using a 3/16" (4.5 mm approximately) drill bit.
5. At a location inside the dotted line on the template, drill a 3/8" (9.5 mm) diameter
saw blade entry hole. Carefully begin cutting toward the dotted line, then continue
cutting along the inside of the dotted line around the template.
WARNING! The corner cut lines are critical to the installation. Carefully cut along the
inside of the line.
6. Test the fit of the control head in the mounting hole and make adjustments to the
mounting hole, if needed. Remove the control head and the template when finished.
7. Peel the adhesive from the rubber gasket. With the adhesive side down, align the
gasket's screw holes with the holes on the control head. Gently press the gasket
around the perimeter of the control head to assure it adheres.
