  1. Using the provided drawing, drill 6 holes on each side of the top mast for rivets.
  2. Use the rivets provided to attach the hinges with a rivet gun.

1.2 Drilling Limit Switch Bracket Holes

• Total Holes: 8 (4 per side)
• Type: Threaded for M5 screws
• Instructions:
  1. Drill 4 holes on each side of the top mast using a 4.5 mm drill bit, then thread for M5.
  2. Mount the limit switch brackets using the screws from the bag labeled "Brackets." Use 2 of A, 2 of B, and 2 of C per bracket.
  3. Insert the limit switches into the mounted brackets.
  4. Wire the limit switches as indicated in the electrical schematic (LS4-LS7), using the normally open configuration.
  5. Attach the limit switch covers using the screws from the bag labeled "Limit Switch Covers." Use 2 of A, 2 of B, and then 2 of C for each cover. Total screws: 8 of A, 16 of B, and 8 of C.

1.3 Adding Terminal Blocks

• Instructions:
  1. Install 4 double stacked terminal blocks to accommodate the additional wiring needed for the switches.

Step 2: Drill Holes on Magnet Brackets on Machine Frame

2.1 Drilling Magnet Bracket Holes

• Total Holes: 8
• Type: Threaded for M5 screws
• Instructions:
  1. Refer to the drawing for the specific locations on the machine frame and drill 8 holes using a 4.5 mm drill bit, then thread for M5.
  2. Secure the brackets using the extra screws from the bag labeled "Brackets," applying 2 of A, 2 of B, and 2 of C per bracket.

Step 3: Drill Holes on Doors for Handles

3.1 Drilling Handle Holes

• Total Holes: 8 (2 per door)
• Type: Threaded for M5 screws
• Instructions:
  1. Drill 2 holes on each door for the handles using a 4.5 mm drill bit and thread for M5 screws.
  2. Use the screws provided in the bag labeled "Door Handles," requiring 2 of A and 2 of B for each handle.

Conclusion

Following these steps will ensure that the safety gates on your RS22 are installed correctly and securely. Always refer back to the provided drawings for precise measurements and locations
