Verify O-ring is in place and secured in gasket groove in Q-Hub. An
O-ring that is removed and/or not properly secured in groove may
cause water ingress inside Q-Hub.

Make sure O-ring is free from any debris, as this can compromise
proper compression of the O-ring, resulting in a leak point.

Position cover so alignment arrows line up. Alignment arrows are
located on cover, directly to the left of locking hole in Q-Hub.
The cover should seat completely into Q-Hub when lined up as
described.
