Step 13: Install the footswitch

Thread one of the nuts onto the footswitch, leaving
a 1/8" gap between it and the switch housing. Place
the split lock washer on next.

Carefully install the switch so the legs of the diode feed through the D8 holes
on the switch circuit board.

Place the flat washer on the switch shaft on the top of the case. As you tighten
the remaining nut on the switch, hold the switch circuit board inside the case
so that it doesn’t rotate.

Solder the D8 LED and trim the leads.

1/8"

Step 12: Install the LED in the mounting bezel

Like some of the caps and diodes, the D8 LED is polarized and has to be in-
stalled in a specific direction. One side of the diode has a flat edge, indicating
the negative lead. Another indication is that the negative lead is shorter than
the positive. The circle marking the D8 location on the switch circuit board
has a corresponding flat to indicate the mounting orientation.

Insert the LED into the bezel. It will be held in place by soldering it to the
switch circuit board in Step 13, but for a more secure mount you can run a
bead of clear silicone adhesive around the LED and bezel.
