  • Page 2 In order to get the engraved Elcon logo at the cover plate on top when assembled, it is wise to check first with a quick test assembly without mounting screws. Take one of the uprights, place the ground plate on it, the 2 holes for the air connection should be horizontal.
  • Page 3 Insert additional screws in the outer ring, turn till they touch the aluminium outer ring. Very gently turn each bolt 1 turn per time on the inner and outer ring so all is pressed down equally. Excersize patience! Elcon Models 2008 © Assembly Air Brake page: 3...
