Part 3 - Preparing the case

Let's begin with the case.

  1. Remove the components from the box if not already done.

  2. Of the two supplied hex keys, use the smaller one to unscrew the case screws.

  6. At this point, the case should be disassembled enough for switch installation.
    Prepare the plate and adhesive gaskets.

  7. Carefully place 5 of the long gaskets onto the plate, one per tab.
    Note: For the minority who are planning on using aftermarket custom plates, install these gaskets on the case area where the plate tabs overlap; this applies to all gasket steps. For specific warnings and instructions, see here.

  8. Repeat on the underside; there should be 10 gaskets installed at the end of this step.

  9. Now prepare the sheet of shorter gaskets.
    Carefully place 6 of these on the marked tabs.
