The mount plate includes adjustable positions P1 through P6. Position P1 is for the smallest size plate; Position P6 is for the largest size plate.

To adjust the size of the mounting plate:

At the left and right side of the mounting plate, loosen the screws at their current “P” positions.
Move the upper and lower parts of the mounting plate to extend or reduce the size of the plate.
At the left and right side of the mounting plate, tighten the screws at their new “P” positions.
