clip may pop off. When pulling on the face,
grasp the fold and pull the face into place.
g� Use the tensioning tool provided with the mesh
replacement kit (part # 0A-1534-0046) to drive
the tension clips into the tension channels.

are removed and the mesh is properly taut. Do not over-tension! This may cause

surface.

on the radius cover.
