- Page 2 Assembly Instructions Please read and review all of the instructions before starting the assembly of your frame. 1. Assemble the side rails onto the frame, using 4 M4 x 10mm socket head screws. The inside edge of the side rails should line up with the inside edge of the frame. Tighten these screws securely.
- Page 3 3. Assemble the screen cover and handle by inserting the M5 x 45mm button head screws from the handle into the screen cover. Don’t push the screws all the way in yet. If you have difficulty getting the screws to go through the holes, try twisting them in. 4.
- Page 4 5. Now thread a nylon insert nut onto the protruding screw on each side, and tighten each with a hex key while holding the nut with an adjustable wrench or socket. The degree of tightness will affect the ease of motion of the handle and the screen cover. The nuts should be tight enough that the handle and cover will hold the position you leave them in, but no so tight that they bind or are difficult to move.
- Page 5 7. Start attaching the frame to the bottom bracket using 2 M4 x 10mm socket head screws, but do not tighten these screws at this time. They should only be screwed in far enough to remain in the holes. We will tighten them in a later step.
- Page 6 8. With the frame around the radio, attach the backstays to the top of the frame. Note that they each will only fit one way, with the hook hanging down over the back of the radio. If installed properly, the side of the backstay will line up with the outside of the frame.
- Page 7 Tighten the screws firmly, making sure that the body of the backstay lines up with the top of the frame. 9. Now that the backstays are secured, you can tighten the screws holding the frame to the bottom bracket. Tighten these screws securely. 10.When completely assembled, you can lower the screen cover to protect the screen during transport or storage of the rig.
- Page 8 With the cover in the fully back position, you can use it as a convenient phone rest while logging or spotting on your phone.
