Page 10 KIT-BUILDING PROCEDURES The steps involved in building a kit are listed below. Be sure to fol- low them and you will have a lot of fun building, aligning, testing and using your kit. 1. Do a parts inventory. At each major section and in the Appendices, there’s a list of parts used in that section (or that will be used shortly).

Sienna. 1. Always have a healthy respect for electricity. While the voltages present inside the Sienna are not lethal, high currents are availa- ble (up to 30 Amps when the 100 Watt amplifier is used). Use a pow- er supply with overcurrent foldback or crowbar protection so that in case of high currents the supply will shut down.
