DANGER

Strong Magnetic Field!

Ferrous materials can become dangerous projectiles in the presence of the magnetic field Produced by the Magnet.

Do not Bring any ferromagnetic tools or equipment into the magnet room.

Loosen the large screw on lower portion of the lower side cover by using a non-ferrous allen key and turning the screw counter-clockwise Figure 1.

Grab sides of lower cover and lift upwards until the cover is released from the upper cover. Set lower cover aside Figure 2.

Figure 2. Removing left side cover
The upper cover is secured to the arc covers primarily by two round feet on the lower portion of the side cover. To remove the cover, grab the two handles on the upper cover firmly and push the cover up and then pull out away from the enclosure. This should release the cover’s feet and allow you to move it freely (see Figure 3).
Once the feet are released, use the arc cover as a guide rail, and allow the cover to slide down the side of the enclosure. Once the cover clears the fixtures on the upper portion of the magnet, the cover can be safely set aside.

Note: To replace the left side covers, the top right side cover must be installed.
Using the arc covers as guide rails, slide the side cover up to meet the right side cover at the top of the magnet Figure 3.

Figure 3. Using the arc covers as guide rails
Hold the handles away from the enclosure to ensure that the alignment tabs get properly slotted under the right side’s slot Figure 4.

Figure 4. Slide alignment tabs below right side cover

Note: This is not easily accomplished since you cannot see all the alignment tabs while holding on to the cover’s handles. Before proceeding to install the lower side cover, go over to the front and rear of the magnet and visually verify that the alignment tabs have been properly inserted and are not protruding over the top of the right side cover Figure 5

Figure 5. Ensure tab is properly placed
Set the round foot on the magnet side of the cover into the upper oval slots on the arc cover Figure 6. Snap into place.
