Question about installation of standoff for C4S upgrade

[Big Bamboo]

Hi,

I am doing the C4S upgrade and ran into an issue when installing the second of the nylon standoffs as instructed on page 15 of the manual.

It says to "slip a #6 lock washer over the screw in front of terminal 15. Mount a second #4x1" (25mm) nylon standoff on the screw."

The issue is that there is only about 2 mm of screw exposed (see attached photo). I figured I had put too many nuts on that lug when assembling, but review of that step in the sex manual seemed to suggest I had done it correctly.

Am I correct in assuming that I need to remove the top nut and then place the standoff?

Thanks,

John

Carefully reread the step about putting on the nylon standoff, as there's a little more to it in the manual.

Paul,

I went back and read it again. I’m not following what you are trying to say.

The only instructions re the second standoff is what I quoted.

What am I missing?

The second picture on page 15 seems to show only one nut where the second stand-off goes. I had two, which didn’t leave enuf screw threads exposed to accommodate a lock washer and grab the threads of the stand-off.

Am I dense?

The instruction is to remove that top nut before you install the standoff on the screw -

Remove the hex nut securing the terminal strip in front of terminal 15.

Then you slip a lock washer over the screw and thread on the standoff.
