Lower the

top of the
tender, as
shown.
Turn the tender
upside down and
t the drawbar
pin into the
circled hole using
tweezers. You can
remove the front
truck to make
this easier.
Now line up the
buer to the
circled holes at
the front of the
tender. It does
not matter
which way
round it goes.
Use pliers to
tighten the pin
into place.
Use two 2 x 4mm
screws to secure
the upper plate to
the tender via the
circled holes.
Use two more
2 x 4mm screws to
secure the buer
to the tender.

Fit the brake hose,
positioned as
shown on the rear
of the tender, into
the circled hole and
secure with SRA.
Once everything
is in place,
reinforce the
brake hose from
the back, using
instant adhesive.
Your assembly
should look
like this.
Now take the
overow pipe
from Stage 81
and use SRA to
secure it via the
two circled holes.

Lay out all four parts as shown above.
Lay the base face down on a at surface to ensure all the holes are aligned,
then secure the frame joint with four half-tightened cap bolts.
Line up the holes at each joint,
and insert a cap bolt into each.
Then use the hex wrench to
further tighten the bolts – but
only lightly at this stage to allow
room for adjustment.
Tighten the cap bolts by hand, as far
as you can.

Place the speaker protector
onto the base so it covers
the speaker holes, but
not the four circled ones.

but be careful not
to trap any wiring.
Secure the cover
with six more

Use tweezers to slot
the speaker’s circuit
board into the mount
at the end of the
speaker housing.
Use four of the speaker screws
to secure it.
Lay the speaker down over
the protector, so that the
four holes at the edges
match those in the plate.
Feed the speaker cable through the
slot in the frame joint, then plug its
connector into the socket.
Make sure the part is tted securely.

Locate the pin and tab on each washer
before you use it.
Lay the switchboard with its at face down,
then t the washers to it as shown above.
There is no need to fully adhere
the washers, but a dot of SRA will
help hold them in place for the
rest of the assembly.

Fit a hex nut over each of the
switches. Now line up the switches, with the
pin/groove side facing up, to the
switchplate, as shown.
Now t the switchplate to the
long rectangular hole in the
side of the base, as shown.
Use four of the smaller screws (2.3
x 8mm) to secure the plate.
Lay the switches out by the
switchboard, as shown – none
of the wires should cross. The
ridges on the connector block
should be positioned at the top.
Turn the hex nut until the end
of the threaded part of the
switch is ush with it.
Turn the nuts onto the threaded
part of the switches to about two
thirds of the way in.
Hold the parts together, then
place a hex nut onto the thread
of the rst switch.
Fit the switches into the washers, one by
one. The grooves through the threaded
section of the switches and the pin on
the washers will orient the parts.
Tighten the rear hex nut until the
switch is held securely in place. Then
repeat for the other four switches.

marked SWITCHES. Then take the
smaller connector leading from the
speaker and plug it into the socket
marked SPEAKER.
Now take Stage 89’s battery box and,
making sure its connectors are facing
towards the generator, lower it into
the base.
Fetch the 2.6 x 8mm screws from
Stage 89, and use them to ax the
battery box.
Now use the smaller-headed 2.3 x
8mm) screws from Stage 89 to secure
the lid.

Battery box position
The battery box is hidden on the underside
of the base, but if you’d rather have it
more readily accessible, you can leave it
unattached, with the wires tracing through
the notch indicated below.
