1.3.1. Attachment

The Stack adapter is attached to the rear rigging strand of the
V-SUB cabinet. To attach the adapter, proceed as follows:

V-SUB cabinet.

2. Attach the Stack adapter as shown in the graphic opposite.

3. Reinsert and lock the two Locking pins on the V-SUB cabinet.

1.3.2. Vertical aiming of the first cabinet

The hole grid on the Stack adapter allows the first V-TOP cabinet
on top of the V-SUB cabinet to be set to a fixed vertical angle of –
7°, –3.5°, 0° or +7°. For this purpose, the hole (drill) of the
cabinet's Splay link is used. It supports the cabinet and defines the
angle setting.
