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