7.6.2.1 Boot Gasket Band Installation
The boot gasket band will be shipped cut to length for the cover size
with the retaining buckle pre-installed. The boot gasket band should
be completely installed on one end of the cover and then repeated on
the other end.
Figure 21 Boot Gasket Band Kit
Position the buckle on the band over the gasket protector plate
located on the top of the upper cover outboard of the handles.
Note:
When installation is complete the buckle must be positioned on
the protector plate to protect the gasket from being damaged.
Wrap the band around the boot gasket and pass the end through the
buckle on the band. Wrap the band around the boot gasket a second
time and pass it through the buckle. Do not pull the band taut.
Note:
Ensure the band is aligned within the grooves on the boot
gasket and the second wrap of the band is directly over the first wrap.
