Adjust The Brace Beam Location
For the panels to fit correctly, the distance
between the inner edges of the top horizontal
beams and the brace beams must be the stock
170mm as in the FT-5’s installation manual.
Before starting to install the kit, please loosen
and adjust the location of the brace beams.
Don’t Panic If You See This!
If you can’t see through the plastic, please don’t
panic!
What you’re seeing is just the plastic or paper
protective covering.
When plastic sheets are manufactured they are covered
by either a paper (brown colored) or plastic (white)
covering to protect against scratches. Follow the
directions below to remove the cover and discover the
beautiful plastic underneath.
The basic process follows this iterative pattern for the
acrylic panels. The wood panels don’t have covers,
and so you can just connect those directly. Take the
acrylic panel out and lay it down flat on a table. Then,
CAREFULLY, SLOWLY, and with DELIBERATION
remove the covering
on both sides. Pull horizontally
to the sheet to reduce the lateral forces that would bend the acrylic.
Connecting screws should be tightened only a little more than hand tight. Use enough force
and even this high quality acrylic will crack.
