Installation

1. When installing the MCS-Ergo-Hybrid console box

onto a Gamber-Johnson MCS Top Plate, insert and
loosely assemble four 1/4-20 carriage bolts, four 1/4"
Dia. washers, four 1/4" lock washers, and four 1/4-20

carriage bolts below the box.

2. Insert the four heads of the carriage bolts into the
desired corresponding key holes (see Figure 1 ) on
the MCS-Top Plate until the bolt heads drop below
the Top Plate. Place box in desired position and
tighten hardware.

3. Due to the shallow depth of the front face, as
compared to the MCS-Epic console box series, it is
necessary to replace the standard Vertical Offsets with
a set of shorter Vertical Offsets (1 set is included with
the MCS -Ergo -Hy brid c onsole box). The radio/radio
head in the lowest position on the box will require the
Short Vertical Offset. Follow instruction sheet INST-3
for assembly and installation instructions, substituting
the short Faceplate Vertical O ffsets (se eFigure 2) with
the Vertical Offsets that come with Gamber-Johnson
Facplate Kits.
