Bend the leads of resistor R8, 6.8k (blu-gry-red), 1/4 watt, at
right angles close to the body. Insert the leads in the solder pad holes,
and bend them out on a 45-degree angle on the opposite side of the
board to hold the resistor in place.
i
Components MUST be tight against the board or the case
may not close properly during final assembly. This is especially
true of components on the bottom of the board where there is very
little clearance between the board and the battery packs.
Check the position of the resistor to ensure it is centered in the
printed outline and flush against the board as shown in Figure 3.
Solder and trim the leads.

Locate the printed outline for R28 on the back of the board. It is
about 3/4” (2 cm) down from the top edge near the center.
Bend the leads of resistor R28, 1.8k (brn-gry-red), 1/4 watt, to fit
in the holes indicated on the board. Note that the leads should NOT be
bent close to the body of the resistor like you did for R8. Fit the leads
so the body of the resistor sits against the board within the outline,
then bend them outward at about a 45 degree angle to hold the resistor
in place.
Solder the leads to R28 and trim them flush with the board.
i
From this point forward, instructions to “install” a
component mean to position it within its outline against the board,
solder, and trim the leads flush on the opposite side.
Locate the two 200 ohm (red-blk-brn)1/8 watt fixed resistors, R6
and R7. They are about half the size of the 1/4 watt resistors you just
installed.
Install the 1/8 watt resistors in the spaces shown just to the left of
R8 near the top of the board:
_ R6, 200 ohms (red-blk-brn), 1/8 watt.
_ R7, 200 ohms (red-blk-brn), 1/8 watt.

Components may be soldered one at a time or in groups.
Leads can be trimmed either before or after soldering.
