2. Using a 3/16 in. nutdriver, remove the four nut/washer sets that secure the display shroud to the inside of the
console cover. Lift the display shroud off its mounting studs.
3. Using a 1/4" nutdriver, remove the four standoffs that secure the LCD display assembly to the console cover. Lift
the LCD display assembly off its mounting studs.
4. Place the new LCD display assembly over the mounting studs on the console cover and fasten it in place with the
four standoffs. Make sure that the LCD display assembly is oriented as shown in Figure 9 on page 36.
CAUTION! Do not overtighten the standoffs or the display assembly may be damaged.
5. Position the LCD display cables between the two right side mounting studs, and install the display shroud over the
mounting studs. The top and bottom edges of the shroud are bent at a 90° angle to the main surface, and these edges
must face inwards toward the display assembly.
Note: One edge of the display shroud is covered with a piece of black electrical tape. This side of the shroud should
be on the right, to protect the cables against abrasion.
