3. Ensure all rivets have been cleared from mounting holes and all metal debris has been removed from the MX 100 chassis.

4. Fit the replacement MX 100 solar panel assembly in the same manner using the included rivets.

5. Ensure rivets protrude completely through the MX 100 chassis before riveting.

6. Ensure the housing flange is between the lid flange and hinge.

   Note: Ensure housing flange is between hinge leaf and lid flange before riveting.

7. Reconnect battery connector(s).

8. Ensure you have enough slack with the solar harness and reconnect to the circuit board.
