Step 1: Assembling the power box



Step 1: Check parts

Start by unpacking the wood parts. Some edges may require a light sanding or scraping to remove burrs. Where the bolt and nut slots are located some small pieces may remain and need to be punched out. Be careful not to crack the wood in the process.

You will need the bag of 24 14mm (overall length) hex head bolts and matching nuts for the powerbox assembly. Also grab the allen key from the drill and tool bag.

Step 2: Assemble

Starting with the base plate (the top and bottom are the same, they are the largest pieces). Mount the rear side (the next largest piece which does not have the clearance holes for the power supply) first. Hold the nut in place in the slot and feed the bolt into with your fingers. Hand tighten for now

Next bolt on one of the side pieces (which has a horizontal slot in it) to the base and the rear sides.

Now insert the mounting plate for the electronics which is the smallest piece with a tab on each end. Insert the tabbed end into the slot of the side you just attached. It may take firm pressure to insert the slot into the side, particularly in humid climates. If necessary you can sand the inside of the slot in the side piece.

Almost done, now add on the remaining side, inserting the other tab of the electronics plate. Bolt that on.

Finally attach the front face and bolt that on. Make sure that the smaller clearance hole is on the left side when facing the power box. Hand tighten all bolts first, then go back and retighten 1/2 additional turn until firm with the allen key.
