5.5  Assemble the computer panel

.  

Find the green multi-wire plug and the 2 smaller, white 4-wire motor plugs inside the main unit and 
expose them as shown below.  Note that the wires on the plugs are labelled “tilt” or “rotate”.

Bring the front panel close to the instrument with its open end up.  Observe a green socket along the 
front edge of the circuit board and two 6-pin sockets labelled “tilt” and “rotate”. Insert the motor plugs 
onto their 6-pin sockets. Note that the motor plugs have red stripes on one side.  The must face OUT, 
away from the white plastic back on the socket for the plug to fit. Be sure to align the plug directly over 
the socket so all the pins are covered.

Next, plug the green connector into the green socket on the back edge of the circuit board.  

Push it all 

the way in very hard.

  The plug can only be inserted with the scalloped edge up so there is no 

danger of inserting it incorrectly.
