The edge of the strip with the clips must
face toward the panel opening. Line up the
mounting strips on each side of the panel
cutout so the holes in the strips are in line
with the holes in the panel. (See Figure 8.)
Install the proper length flat head screws
through the front panel and into the center
hole of each strip. Drive the screws in so the
flat heads are flush with the panel. If neces-
sary, countersink the two center holes.
Carefully insert the tuner through the
front panel opening so it rests on the sup-
porting shelf. Insert the proper length round
head screws into the four holes in the mount-
ing flanges on each end of the tuner panel.
Drive the screws in through the panel and into
the threaded clips on the mounting strips.
Do not tighten these screws yet.
If the cabinet is fixed and will not be
moved about, it is not necessary to secure
the tuner chassis to the shelf. If the cabinet
is to be moved about, it is recommended
that the tuner chassis be secured to the
shelf in the following manner.
Tighten the four screws holding the tuner
to the front panel. The four 10-32 x ¾ inch
screws used in shipping the tuner are also
used to mount it to a shelf of ½ inch or
5
/
8
inch thickness. Use the 10-32 x ½ inch
screws if the mounting shelf is
3
/
8
inch thick-
ness or less. Use the 10-32 x 1 inch screws if
the shelf is ¾ inch or
7
/
8
inch thickness.
Secure the chassis with the proper length
10-32 screws by inserting them up through
the holes in the shelf and into the threaded
holes in the tuner chassis bottom. Tighten
the 10-32 screws after you have first tight-
ened the front panel screws.
IMPORTANT
Use of the wrong length 10-32
screws may cause electrical short-
ing in the tuner circuits.
Attach the two metal panel end caps
(packed with the tuner) on each end of the
tuner panel by sliding onto the pins. (See
Figure 9.) The end caps are held by spring
tension and can easily be removed if the
tuner is to be taken out of the cabinet.
