- Use the screwdriver or other tool to push out the Hinge Pin from the Lid (left and right side). Remove the Lid.
- Step A: Install the Lock Plate with the tabs facing outward. Fasten with (6) M3 x 10 Screws.
- Step B: Place the Lock Hook on the Lock Plate and align its holes with the holes in the Lock Plate. Slide the pins on the Safety Strap through the holes in the Lock Plate and Lock Hook.

6. PLUG IN WIRE HARNESS
- Locate label on PCB that says lock
- Plug harness in
7. SECURE WIRE HARNESS

- Use the 2 Lock Wire Clips (shown above) to secure the harness to the Lid.
- Lock Wire Clips do not have a hole.
- Push the 2 clips, barb side down, onto the Lid’s vertical center rib, halfway between the horizontal ribs.
- Press the wire harness into each clip by applying pressure to the harness with both thumbs about 1/4 inch away from each of the clip edges.
8. REMOVE BATTERY TAB (If Included)
- Holding your thumb against the Battery to keep it in place, pull out the Battery Tab with the other hand.
- If the Battery comes out, replace it in the slot with the smooth side up, as shown.
9. LID PLACEMENT
- Set Lid in place with holes aligned.
10. INSTALL HINGE OIN AND END CAP ON LID (LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE)
- Slide the Hinge Pin into the hole, with the angled end to the outside, and add the End Cap.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Failure to install the End Cap could cause the Hinge Pin to fall out.
- An extra end cap is provided in the package.
11. INSTALL DAMPER (LEFT SIDE)
- Open the Lid, and align the plastic clip on the Angle Damper Bracket with the notch on the Damper arm. Snap the Damper into place.
12. INSTALL DAMPER (RIGHT SIDE)
- Align the plastic clip on the Angle Damper Bracket with the notch on the Damper arm. Snap the Damper into place.
13. DAMPER FORCE ADJUSTMENT (IF NEEDED)
- The force needed to close the lid can be adjusted using the provided Hex Key Wrench.
- If the lid slams, or closes too quickly, increase the tension in the damper screw by rotating it clockwise in small increments. If the lid is difficult to close, loosen the screw in small increments.
- Repeat these steps on both sides until the desired closing speed is achieved.
14. INSTALL POWER CORD
- Open the lid all the way
- Route the Power Cord through one of the 2 holes in the bottom panel that is closest to a power outlet. If needed, lift the box to access the hole.
- Optional location to route the Power Cord on the rear panel. Remove the cap to install. There is a risk of water intrusion if this option is used.
15. SECURE POWER CORD
- Use Power Cord Clips to secure the Power Cord to the panels. This clip has a hole for identification.
- Align the top clip with the tab on the electronic console. Press the clip, barbed side down, onto the rib on the lid as shown.
- Push the remaining 3 clips, barbed side down, onto the vertical rear panel rib as shown, halfway between the horizontal ribs.
- Press the narrow side of the cord into the clips. Apply pressure to the cord with both thumbs about 1/4 inch away from each of the clip edges. Make sure there is plenty of slack in the cord between the lid and the back panel, so that the lid opens freely and the cord is not pulled out.
- As you secure the cord, remove all slack between the clips on the rear panel.
- Pull any excess slack through the hole in the bottom panel.
- Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
