Assembly

Step 1:

Open the carrying case and verify all components arrived safely, as a reminder these are the contents that are included in the kit:
1x Anodized 6063 Alu Top case
1x Anodized 6063 Alu Bottom Case
1x Sandblasted or Polished Stainless Steel Weight (Exterior)
1x Sandblasted Brass Weight (Interior)
1x Anodized Logo Badge
2x Anodized Grill Accents
1x Dark Gray Anodized 5052 Alu Plate
1x G60R-S Solderable or G60R-H Hotswappable PCB
1x S1 Daughterboard and Ez-mate to JST Cable
1x Geass60 Carrying Case and Microfiber Sleeve
8x 60a Gaskets
1x 70a Oring
Other necessary components (feet, screws, etc)

Step 2:
Begin by taking your plate of choice and PCB. Install stabilizers and switches. 

Step 3:
Install your choice of gasket, either oring or grommet. For the gasket oring, wrap the oring around the plate and PCB assembly. For grommet gasket, place 6x gaskets onto the mounting points on the plate, big side down.

Step 4:
Remove top case by removing the 8 angled screws on top and bottom interior edge of the board. And Set aside.

Step 5:
Remove inner weight with the 7 screws holding the brass sheet. Remove outer weight by removing the 4 screws along the upper edge of the interior. 

Step 6:
Plug JST cable into the daughterboard, it is not directional, so either way works. Place daughterboard on the unique screwless daughterboard pegs in the weight.

Step 7:
Re-install bottom weight and inner sheet into the bottom case by using the screws you removed in step 5.

Step 8: 
Place completed build into the bottom case and re-install top case, using the 8 angled screws from Step 4.
