INSTALLING DIVIDERS
Step 1 Slide divider into slots in body of Poke
Thru. Two sets of slots are provided.
Either set may be used.
Step 2 Remove disposable plate and (2) plate clips by
removing the 8-32 screws. Install Flange using
the (2) 8-32 x 1/2” Cap Head screws provided
with the cover assembly.
