Maintenance Instructions
1. Remove the (2) screws that secure the top drive assembly cover
3. Set the top cover to the side and out of the way so that it does

lose the hardware for the covers as your repair kits do not come
with the hardware necessary to replace these. If you do require
hardware that is not present in your kits, do not hesitate to contact
