Attaching the Support Plate to the Cover Plate
To attach the support plate, you will need the cover plate, the support plate,
three #8 x 1 3/4” pan head screws, three #8 flat washers, three #8 split lock
washers, and three #8 hex nuts.
1. Slide the three #8 x 1 3/4” pan head screws up through the non-threaded holes in the
support plate.
Make sure the side of the support plate marked “UP” is in fact on top as you
slide the screws in from the bottom.
2. Place the cover plate over the screw ends protruding from the support plate.
3. Secure the support plate to the cover plate using a #8 flat washer, #8 split lock
washer, and #8 hex nut on each of the screw ends.
Tighten until the support plate is firmly attached to the cover plate.
