Replacing the handle on the KUDD01SSSS
1. To protect panel from scuffing, remove top foam packaging
and place on a flat surface. If top foam packaging is not
available, any material that can keep the panel from scuffing
will suffice.
4
. Lay the panel, handle side down, on the foam packaging to
prevent scuffing the panel.
5
. Loosen, but do not remove the fasteners. Turn fasteners
approximately 6 rotations.
6
. Gently lift the panel. Gravity will separate the handle from the
panel. Do not remove the fasteners.
7. With slight thumb pressure on each fastener, lift the panel
vertically with the edge sitting on the foam.
8. With thumb pressure on one fastener, align the handle and
tighten the fastener finger tight (about 2-3 turns).
9
. Repeat step 8 with the opposite end of the handle.
10
. Once the handle is in place, lay the panel back on the foam.
11
. Finish tightening the fasteners.

steps 2 and 3 of “Replacing the handle on the KUDD01SSS”
