Pre-Maintenance
Procedures
Important:
The fasteners on the covers of this
machine are designed to remain on the cover after
removal. Loosen all fasteners on each cover a few
turns so that the cover is loose but still attached,
then go back and loosen them until the cover
comes free. This prevents you from accidentally
stripping the bolts free of the retainers.
