Closing the FSDC 

When securing the four hinged latches on the cover, it is important to use care to avoid pinching the installer’s fingers or skin.  

 

USE CAUTION WHEN CLOSING THE HINGED LATCHES. 

 

1.

 

To close the latch, place the palm of one hand on the outside of the latch, ensuring that the palm is entirely clear of the inside of 
the latch. Place the other hand on the opposite side of the unit to stabilize the unit. Ensure that the hand is entirely clear of the 
interior side (Figure 4).  

2.

 

Push the latch toward the center of the FSDC-H until the latch snaps into place (Figure 5). 

3.

 

When all latches are closed, use an Allen wrench to tighten the security screws in the lower right and left corners of the FSDC. 
This tightens the latches to ensure a proper seal (Figure 6).
