4. ensure the action is regulated and the working position of the keys wil
remain the same after final assembly
5. adjust the height of the soft shift sliders to proper level

should be the same.

2. Fully Insert the depth rod to the plastic nut bottom opening the plastic nut bottom opening
3. Observe the front of the key movement

Note: This measurement and the 7mm test value is
expecting to have one standard foam insert inside the

nut. This is e.g. 6mm+11mm=17mm
Excessive key depth:

If the front of the key is moving beyond the line of the
Fine adjustment wheel after touch felt, the key tail travel is shorter than e.g 10.5mm
In this case you need to shorten the plunger travel by
using of the additional foam inserts.

If you cannot reach full key depth with standard parts:

Power ON/OFF - use thinner foam inserts
Inches/Millimeters switch - use spacer in between the plastic nut and the rail
- eventually you may release the plastic nut to obtain
required travel. After the adjustment fix the nuts in position
with the LOCTITE removable screw fastener, type 221.
