F. Reinstall belt cover by placing the cover in posi-
tion. While maintaining a slight gap between the
cover seal and the side plate, install each cap screw
until the threads engage in the insert. The gap will
allow visual alignment of the cap screw to the
threaded insert. After all capscrews are installed,
tighten them until the stand offs inside the cover
contact the side plate. Do not overtighten (Fig. 6).
