Take the Top Plate with the motor attached and
slide it into the Bottom Plate. The Top Plate slides
outboard from the back end of the Bottom Plate.
Once slid all the way outboard, secure the Top Plate

Screws (Item #10), each with a Jam Nut (Item #8)
in place. Slide both plates to align the holes in the
Top Plate and Bottom Plate. Apply anti-seize to all
hardware. Install each 1/4-20 X 1.50 Socket Head Cap
Screw with the Jam Nut in place into the plates using
a 3/16" Allen Wrench. Tighten the Allen Wrench turning
clockwise until there is no movement between the
plates. Tighten an additional quarter turn past tight.
Once the 1/4-20 X 1.50 Socket Head Cap Screws are
tight, take a 7/16" Open End or Box End Wrench and
tighten the Jam Nut. Make sure all hardware
is secure.
