Approach
1.
If no muting-arms are mounted: After mounting the FlexFix brackets, screw the
active and passive units into the FlexFix brackets from the front.

The protective device can only be screwed in when both FlexFix brackets are in align‐
ment.
Recommendation:
1.
Only hand-tighten the screws on the FlexFix brackets at first.
2.
Align the two FlexFix brackets. To do this, place a straightedge or spirit level, for
example, on the screw mounting surfaces of the FlexFix brackets that are not
being used.

Tighten the screws.
