Step-by-step assembly and mounting instructions are given below.
Before installing the instrument in the rack, be sure that the rack angle bracket or shelf is in place and
adjusted to accept and support the instrument. Under no circumstances should the instrument's entire
weight be supported solely by the hardware and brackets supplied in the mounting kit.
1. Mount handles (1) to both rack ears (3) securing each handle with two flat head screws (4).
2. Install the rack ears (3) on the outside edge of each instrument securing with two truss head screws that were
removed from the instrument (see the next figures).
When you remove the truss head screws to install the rack ears, you will need to re-use the screws to
secure the rack ears on the outside edge of each instrument.
