WARNING

Adhesives, solvents, and sealing compounds can burn easily, can give off harmful vapors,

and are harmful to skin and clothing. To avoid injury or death, keep away from open fire

and use in a well-ventilated area. If adhesive, solvent, or sealing compound gets on skin

or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

CAUTION

Spacing between first four installed screws must be even to prevent uneven pressure on

case halves when torquing. Failure to do so could cause component failure.

(p)

screws (19). Install four of the eight

screws and four washers (20), as

opposing pairs (D and E), into case

NOTE

Tighten screws in pairs opposite

each other.

(q)

Install remaining four screws (19)

and four washers (20). Tighten
