Premaintenance
Procedures
Important: The fasteners on the covers of this machine
are designed to remain on the cover after removal.
Loosen all of the 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 will
prevent you from accidentally stripping the bolts free
of the retainers
