Every Watkins cover has 6 aluminum plates
installed into the foam core hidden beneath the
vinyl on 3 sides of the cover. There are two plates
on the opposite side of the Warning Label and two
on each side of the cover (Figure 1.4).
Only the hidden aluminum plate closest to the
middle of the cover on each side is used for this
cover lifter as well as the two plates in the back
opposite the Warning Label.
There are two predrilled holes on the top of each
plate. Feel around the side of the cover to fi nd the
holes in the plates. Use a fi ne tip marker to mark
the center of the hole for each of the four plates
that will be used (Figure 1.4).
