Installation Guide
1.
Place 2 M8 t-nuts through the rearward slot on the vertical post of your choice
on your chassis. My example is with an ASR6 but as long as you’ve got a rig
made of 1515 style aluminium, you’re fine.
2.
Fasten the flight gate to the chassis using 2X M8 X 16 socket screws.

3.
Fix the 1.5” X 3” extrusion to the chassis by first placing a M8 t-nut on the top of
the main chassis base. Clip the hook through the mechanism, make sure the
mechanism is loosely fastened to allow movement.
4.
Close the gate to place the 1.5” extrusion over the chassis, position the t-nut
under it (use a small allen key to move the t-nut, it helps!) and tighten fully the
gusset.
