Attach SB18#2 to SB18#1 as follows: 

 

a.

 

Remove a T-BLP from SB18#2. 

 

b.

 

Rotate the link arm down. 

 

c.

 

Secure the link arm to SB18#1 by re-inserting the T-BLP into the SB18#1 top link point. 

 

d.

 

Repeat this procedure until all four arms are secured to SB18#1.

a.

 

Turn the KARA-MINIBU so that the text of the identification plate is upside down. 

 

b.

 

Position a first KARA-MINIBUEX on the laser plate side of the KARA-MINIBU by turning it feet pointing down 
and inserting the stud into the slit of the KARA-MINIBU located near the laser plate.
