* Never use excessive force to insert the connector. If it won't go in properly, pull it out and try again.

5.

Attach the cross fader using the screws you removed in step 2 (Fig. 5).

* Orient the cross fader by aligning the triangle printed on the cross fader with the triangle printed on the V-4 (Fig. 6).
* After you have completed the installation procedure, check again to make sure the device is installed correctly.
* When the installation is finished, carry out the procedure described in "Adjusting the V-4" below.

Adjusting the Stroke

You can adjust the cross fader to a stroke at any of four stages (10 mm, 23 mm, 35 mm, and 45 mm).

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the stopper retainer screw (Fig. 1).

Move the stopper to any one of the four holes that you prefer (Fig. 2).The four stopper holes are stamped
"10," "23," "35," and "45." These indicate the stroke obtained when screwed to the respective hole. Use these
stamped indicators as a guide for positioning the stopper.

3.

Secure the stopper in place using the stopper retainer screw you removed in step 2 (Fig. 3).
