CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the internal mounting bar, ensure the stud penetration is no more than 32 mm into the pedestal base. We recommend you mark each stud with tape, 32 mm from one end, to act as a gauge.
4.Grease the studs. Using two nuts locked together on the stud, screw each stud into the pedestal to a maximum of 32 mm, or until they bottom out. Remove these two nuts.
Note: If the studding supplied is not long enough, use M10 stainless steel, grade A4 studding of a suitable length. Refer to the following il- lustration for details.
5.Using suitable lifting equipment, raise the pedestal over the mounting surface. Carefully lower into position, taking care that the studs pass through the holes without damaging the threads. Ensure that the cable inlet is pointing aft.
WARNING:
Support the pedestal unit until it has been secured to the mounting platform. It is important that all four sets of nuts and washers are used to secure the pedestal to the mounting platform.
6.Referring to the following illustration, use the four nuts and asso- ciated washers supplied to secure the pedestal. Tighten the nuts to 20 Nm (14.7 lb ft); ensure the scanner is tightly fitted.
Grease the nuts.
