2.Locate the Retaining Collar(just above the Wire Drive unit) and depress the Release Bar and remove the Retaining Collar from the Control Box mounting shaft.

3.Pull the Control Box out just enough to allow the Control Box to be rotated to the desired position and then re-install. ( Be sure no leads are pinched) Note: For the Horizontal position the right side of the Control Box must be next to the front panel components.

4.Re-install the Retaining Collar. Some light pressure on the Control Box may be necessary to get the release bar to “click” into the mounting shaft groove.
