Mounting the PAL-14 onto an APES-14: 
See illustration 7.0. 
Make sure the APES is mounted on the HD punch before proceeding with this 
step, refer to the APES manual. 
Locate the APES module standoff kit. Remove the four long metal spacers (1) 
and find the two short plastic spacers (2). The position of these standoffs will be 
determined by the slots located on the APES base plate. There is no exact 
location for these standoffs or which slots are used. Use the 3-winged knobs (3) 
to secure the PAL-14 to the APES. The operator can choose a comfortable 
working distance for the PAL-14 by choosing different mounting positions. The 
long spacers will be used toward the rear of the PAL-14 base plate. There is a 
threaded shaft protruding from one end of the long spacer. Insert this threaded 
shaft through the slot of the APES, and screw it into the interface blocks 
previously mounted on the HD punch. Use the same procedure for the front two 
spacers except this time, insert the threaded shaft through the plastic washer 
first, and then through the slots of the PAL-14. Only three knobs are actually 
required, the knob that is located on the machine forward and right may be 
removed if there is interference with the paper stack.
