- Plug in LCD connector/ cable into the connector located through the LCD shield.
- Install the U-shaped aluminum bracket oriented foam side down onto the studs protruding from the LCD shield.
- Thread the (2) 4mm lock nuts onto the studs. While pressing down on the center of the bracket, tighten both lock nuts.
- Attach the green LCD ground wire to the corner of the LCD shield with the (1) 3mm x 14mm Phillips head screw and lock washer.
- Position the front enclosure standing up so that it is approximately 4 inches from the rear enclosure.
- Connect the inverter cable to the top of the electronic module.
- Connect the ribbon cable (from the bottom of the electronic module) to the interface PC board located in the middle of the front enclosure. Verify that the connector’s side retaining clips are snapped into place.

Step 8
Enclosure Assembly 2
- Connect the ground cable to the spade terminal located just above the outlet port.
- Connect the three (3) tubes to the barbed fittings located along the bottom of the inside of the front enclosure. Be sure to reconnect them to the same locations that they were removed from:
- The tube from the outlet port tee is connected to the left-most fitting (when viewed from the inside).
- The blue tube (or tube with a blue stripe) is connected to the right- most fitting.
- The remaining tube is connected to the last remaining fitting
- Bring the front and rear enclosures together. Orient the tubing and cables so that none are kinked or crimped.
- Place the unit, face down, on the protective surface.

Step 9
Enclosure assembly 3
- Under the weight of the rear enclosure (and assembly), the seam around the entire perimeter of the unit should be closed and even. If it is not, then there is interference from the tubes and/or cables that were just connected.
- Install the (2) 4mm x 30mm screws and lock washers to the bottom-rear of the enclosure.
- Install the (2) 4mm x 50mm screws and lock washers to the top-rear of the enclosure.
- Attach the roll stand adapter plate to the bottom of the unit by installing the (4) 3mm x 8mm Phillips head screws and lock washers. Be sure to orient the plate so that the single middle hole is toward the rear of the unit.
