Ensure that O-ring sealing surface is free of debris and that O-ring is undamaged and fully contained in groove.
Step 2
When closing the access cover, be careful not to pinch internal wires.
Step 3
Carefully position the cover flush with all sides of the access point, then slowly hand-tighten each bolt.
Step 4

the tightening sequence. Tighten each bolt to 3 to 4 ft lbs (0.34 to 0.45 Nm).
