K3 Assembly-p32 VFO B Encoder: Trim 5 pins???

[Richard-3]

Hello.  I'm building K3 #3653 and hit a snag installing the second
encoder, VFO B.  The instructions (page 32)  indicate I need to trim 5
pins close to the PC board as part of the preparation to install the
encoder.  I'm not seeing it.  Does this mean cutting the pins after
installing the encoder?

I looked for an errata sheet for the assembly manual, but did not see one.

OK, what am I missing?

Thanks

Rich,

If you will look at the photo #2 at the lower right quadrant of page 32- You
will see that what you are to cut are the bits of the pins that stick out of
the back of the small board attached to the encoder. Do this before you
install the encoder. This is done to prevent these from shorting out to the
DSP board after assembly. Trim them nice and flush to the board.

73 and have fun,
