7. When all 8 screws are loose (but not removed), lift the cover up and slide it back
along the cable track and out of the way. Protect the cover with a soft cloth or
other padding material so the cover does not get scratched. See
Figure 10-9 .

Cover Replacement Procedure
1. Check the cover o-ring around the inner groove of the cover to make sure it is in
place and not crimped when installing cover.
2. Hold the cover over the outer link and check to see that the clamp nuts attached to
the 8 side screws are positioned so they will slip into place when the cover is
lowered down onto the outer link.
3. Slowly lower the cover down onto the outer link, making sure the o-ring does not
fall out or get pinched as the cover presses down to make the seal.
NOTE: As you lower the cover down onto the outer link, make sure the 8
side screws are pushed all the way in, so the clamp nuts will slide into the
correct position.
4. Replace the 2 screws and nylon washers at the top of the outer link and tighten to
5 in-lb (0.56 N-m).
5. Replace the 2 screws (check for o-ring on screw) near the front of the outer link
and tighten to 10 in-lb (1.1 N-m).
6. Tighten the 8 side screws to 10 in-lb (1.1 N-m). Be careful to not over-tighten.
Begin with the two screws (one on each side) at the back of the outer link, then
move forward to the next two, and so on, until all eight are tightened. This pattern
is recommended to achieve a balanced secure fit around the cover.
7. Replace the collar nut and tighten until secure.
8. Remember to turn on the compressed air supply to the system before restarting
the robot.
