always use a lifting aid device or two people when removing and installing
the top cowl.
1. With two people or using a lifting aid device, lower the top cowl over the
engine onto the middle cowl.
a. With two people, one on each side of the engine, grab the top cowl
with both hands and carefully lower and guide the top cowl onto the
middle cowl.

the lift point/handle. Secure the lifting strap onto the lifting device and
slowly lower and guide the top cowl onto the middle cowl.

2. Verify the cowl is correctly aligned by checking the cowl gaps and
flushness on the port and starboard side of the cowl. If there is
misalignment, one side of the cowl will have a gap that is larger than the
other side.
NOTE: It may be necessary to slightly lift the larger gap side of the cowl to
correctly position the alignment guides.
3. Turn the port side latch hook fastener one quarter turn counterclockwise
to secure the port side latch hook to the middle cowl.
NOTE: Two clicks will indicate that the latch hook is engaged.

secure the starboard side latch hook to the middle cowl.
