Plate 196:  Installing a surface-mounted point motor with an extension arm, Part 11
(This plate added NOV 2003)

The R8015 mounting plate has now been loosely screwed down to the roadbed. The little silver-colored mounting screws at the upper-left and lower-right corners are included in the R8015 installation kit.

There is no need to tighten down the two mounting screws at this time. Tighten them down after you place the extension arm in position, or it will be difficult to position the upright pin of the extension arm under the socket at the tip of the baseplate's sliding arm.
