Symptom: The upper unit cannot be held at an angle of 16 degrees with the DF when

the upper unit is opened. This is due to variation in the tolerance of the
torsion springs.

Solution: To hold the upper unit and DF at a proper position, the upper unit stand kit

(consists of 6 parts, see below) will be packed as an accessory to the E7 DF
(A365) from the July production. The cut-in serial numbers will be informed
by the MB.
