Dust Cover Installation

If not factory installed, thread the hinge pin into the pilot hole located on each side, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. (See Diagram)

Place the dust cover over the unit so that the cutouts in the cover line up with the two pins. The dust cover will properly seat and align itself with the base.

To Hinge Dust Cover

With the cover correctly positioned, grasp the front edge of the dust cover and raise, allowing the rear to pivot on the base. As you tilt the dust cover the back of the dust cover will contact the base and remain in the UP position. If you wish to lower the dust cover, simply reverse the above procedure.
