Find the following parts for installation of the tapped tuning inductor: 
 
(1) Tapped Air-Wound Inductor and Switch Assembly 
(1) 3/8" Hex Control Nut, Panel Mount 
(1) 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD Flat Washer, Metal 
(1) 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD Shoulder Washer, Fiber 
(1) 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD Flat Washer, Fiber 
(2) 6-32 x 1/4" Machine Screw, PH 
(2) 6-32 Hex Nut 
 
Look inside the air-wound inductor to locate two protruding solder lugs (see 
Diagram 10 below). These lugs will be used to attach the inductor to the chassis. 
Also, note that the frame of the wafer switch will be isolated from chassis ground 
using fiber washers. The shoulder washer centers the switch in the panel 
opening.

[  ] Install the fiber shoulder washer on the Inductor switch, as shown above in 
Diagram 10. 
[  ] Insert the switch shaft at INDUCTOR and align coil lugs with chassis holes. 
[  ] Install two 1/4" screws up through the chassis and secure coil with hex nuts. 
[  ] Seat the switch and confirm that the shoulder washer is centered in the hole. 
[  ] Install a 5/8" fiber washer, metal washer, and control nut. Tighten in place
