GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in
all the warnings listed below refers to your Orbot Micro.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
d) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
e) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
f) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
g) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
h) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
i) Guard against electrical shock. It is recommended to use this tool on a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) or RCD (Residual Current Device) protected circuit with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less.
Personal Safety
j) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
k) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
l) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
m) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
n) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
o) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
p) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
q) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
r) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
s) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
t) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children, and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
u) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
v) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Service
x) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings Common for Polishing Operations.
y) This power tool is intended to function as a polisher only. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
z) Operations such as sanding, grinding, wire brushing, or cutting off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool
was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
aa) Do not use accessories which are not designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does
not assure safe operation.
bb) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
cc) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
dd) The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
ee) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. If power tool or accessory is
dropped, inspect for damage to install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
ff) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use a face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
gg) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
hh) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
ii) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
jj) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
kk) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
ll) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
mm) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
nn) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material
causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of
pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
oo) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction during start up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
pp) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
qq) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in a direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at
the point of snagging.
rr) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bounding and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bounding have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
ss) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including but
not limited to the following:
Grounding Instructions
tt) The Orbot Micro should always be electrically grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. This tool is equipped with an approved three-
conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green or green/yellow conductor wire in the cord is the
grounding wire. NEVER CONNECT THE GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW WIRE TO A LIVE TERMINAL. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly
grounded, you should have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.

Extension Cord
uu) With the Orbot Micro, use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Replace or repair damaged cords. When using this tool at a distance from the power source, a three conductor grounding type extension cord of ADEQUATE SIZE
must be used for safety and to prevent the loss of power and overheating.
Extension Cord Length Size of Wire in Cord
0-100 feet (0-30 m) 18 AWG (0.75mm2)
101-250 feet (30–76 m) 16 AWG (1.0 mm2)
Motor
vv) Your Orbot Micro is powered by a sturdy motor. Be certain your power supply agrees with that shown on the name plate (a.c. means alternating current). Variance in
your power supply’s voltage may result in loss of power and overheating. This tool is factory tested. Built into the motor of the Model 6CE is a thermal circuit interrupt.
This device will open the power circuit if the motor windings exceed 120 – 130 C. It is not resettable, and if it the protector is activated, the motor field (stator) may
have to be replaced. If it will not operate, check electric supply for blown fuses; check plug and electrical receptacle for proper contact.
Additional Safety Instructions:
ww) Do not Abuse Cord. Do not force sharp bend in cord, especially where it exits the handle and particularly when curling cord for storage.
xx) Maintain Tool with Care. Keep the tool clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect cord periodically
and, if damaged, have repaired by a Orbot Micro service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Using compressed air, blow dry the bearings under the heads or pads, and blow away dirt or lint inside the motor case. This should only be performed
with the power cord disconnected and with proper eye protection.
yy) Keep Work Area Clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
zz) Use the Right Tool. Do not force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
aaa) Use Proper Support. Ensure that you have provided proper support for the work piece. A loose work piece may be propelled by the tool if not supported or fixed in
place.
bbb) Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition which may
affect the tools operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized Orbot Micro service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by a Orbot Micro service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn
tool on and off.
ccc) Handles Should Remain Insulated. Do not operate the tool without the properly insulated handles. NOTE: If shrink wrap insulation on the rear metal handle is
damaged or is removed at the time of repair, it must be replaced before the tool is put back into service. The proper precut length is available from Orbot Micro or
your dealer. When re-installing, be sure not to cover any part of the “1” or “0” (on/off) indicators embossed in the aluminum handle.
ddd) Use only Orbot Micro Recommended Products. The use of accessories or attachments other than those recommended in these operating instructions may present a
risk of personal injury.
eee) Use of Residual Current Device is Recommended. The use of residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less is recommended. In the United
States and Canada, a residual current device is also known as a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), ground fault interrupter (GFI) or an appliance leakage current
interrupter (ALCI). In Australia they are sometimes known as “safety switches” or simply “RCD” and in the United Kingdom they can be referred to as “trips” or “trip
switches.”

This section presents the basic steps involved in vehicle detailing, much of which is accomplished without your Orbot Micro. More instructions on
polisher operation are provided later in this manual.
Washing
a) Soap. To wash the vehicle and remove old wax or polish, use cold or warm water and a dishwashing detergent. A standard detergent usually requires 1-2 ounces per
gallon of water. If you do not wish to remove existing wax, then use a car washing soap that has a neutral pH, making it “wax-friendly.” This describes most “car wash”
soap products.
b) Sponges, mitts and more. It is important to use an appropriate washing device. This includes wash mitts and sponges made from foams, wool and other materials.
Advancements in detailing tools include specific types of products designed for easy wheel cleaning, safe, yet aggressive bug removal, and a gentle wash while
providing a comfortable fit. They need to be easy to use and assuredly not scratch the surface.
c) Application tips. Use a mitt or sponge that holds the car wash solution. The more solution the mitt or sponge can hold, the more lubricating soapy water you can get
onto the surface to be cleaned. Lubrication created by soapy water helps prevent dirt from scratching the surface while being cleaned. Start up high -- away from most
of the grit and grime. Rinse your mitt or sponge out frequently. You do not want to rub grit into the paint and cause swirls or scratches. Prepare two 5 gallon buckets by
filling one half-full with the soap-and-water wash solution and the other bucket three-quarters full with clear rinse water.
d) Rinse before and after you wash. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly, starting at the top and working your way down. Pre-rinsing is an important step and should not be
skipped. Then wash the vehicle, then rinse again.
e) Do it in the shade. Washing and most other detailing work should be preformed out of direct sunlight. Avoid rapid evaporation which can create hard water spots. Do
not allow chemicals to dry on painted surfaces or trim pieces.
f) Environment. Make sure that you are practicing good environmental stewardship. Use appropriate cleaners on paints, wheels and metals. Follow all applicable
guidelines for water containment. Utilize as little water as necessary and never leave a water hose running when not in use.
Claying
g) Clay bars and optional use. Clay bars are used to remove paint over spray, tree sap, airborne contaminants and industrial fallout from the cars painted surfaces. Clay
also works well on glass, plastics and many metals. Claying is an optional step performed before polishing. When hard paint contaminants are present, claying first
then polishing can save time over polishing only.
h) Paint surface check. Use a plastic sandwich bag or any type of thin plastic bag as a tool to inspect the painted surface. Using a clean plastic bag with your fingers
or hand inside, run your finger tips across the painted surface. Be careful not to drag any loose debris. The plastic increases the sensitivity of your fingertips to
contaminants. Your paint may feel clean and smooth to the bare hand’s touch, but with a plastic bag over your hand, it is a different story! The bumps and roughness
you may feel are contaminants and pollutants that need removed for a show car finish. After using detailing clay, the surface will be as smooth as glass and ready for
polishing.
i) Application tips. Thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle. Cut a large clay bar into smaller, more manageable pieces. Begin by spraying a clay bar lubricant over a 2’ x
2’ area. Hold the clay bar so that your hand and finger nails do not touch the painted surface. Glide the clay bar across the area. We recommend that you work in a
consistent direction – not cross hatching. Move the clay bar back and forth, and you will begin to feel it cleaning the surface. When claying entire vehicles, it is best to
begin at the top and then work your way to the lower areas. Inspect the clay bar often and remove large contaminants that could scratch. When the clay bar becomes
dirty you can switch to the clean side or knead the clay to extend its use. Continue the process around the entire vehicle until all painted surfaces, glass, chrome, metal
pieces and coated wheels have been clayed. Then the painted surface will be smooth and ready for polishing and waxing.
j) Special tips and guidelines. You can save time by using the clay bar after the final wash rinse, while the surface is still wet. Never allow a clay bar to drop on the
ground. It would be nearly certain to pick up a scratching hazard; if so contaminated, it should be discarded. It is important that you work on the vehicle in a shaded
area, away from direct sunlight.
e) Re-rinse. Re-rinse or re-wash the vehicle if necessary to clean up after claying.
Drying
k) Dry thoroughly. The vehicle should be completely dry before polishing and waxing. Scratches can easily be imparted when substandard towels are used for drying.
Discarded household towels should never be used to dry a vehicle. They can scratch the surface and produce lint. There are several professional quality tools
including microfiber towels, drying air blowers, water blades, chamois and available to reduce drying time.
What Is Polishing - It Is Important That You Do Not Just Wax
l) Your paint’s appearance is dependent on being well polished to a highly reflective,
smooth finish. Polishing removes oxidation, old wax buildup and other contaminants
while cleaning, leveling and shining your paint. Polishing can smooth the edges of larger
imperfections and even remove light scratches. Polishing is important to prepare the
surface for protecting with a sealant or wax.
m) It is important to remove all of the oxidation, wax buildup and contaminants before
applying a wax or sealant. You do not want to seal in the contaminants.
Swirls, Scratches and Other Defects Removal
n) Swirls and holograms are imperfections in paint appearance caused by thousands of
microscopic scratches in the clear coat. These scratches can be the result of polishing
with a high speed buffer, dirt and sand in the air, rough drying towels and car wash and
snow removal brushes. The removal of swirls and holograms is accomplished by removing
the fine scratches. Your Orbot Micro does this with the right combination of liquid
compounds, polishes and pads and the correct technique.
o) If a scratch catches your fingernail then it’s likely too deep to remove. Polishing the scratched area is still recommended. However, do so with the idea that you are
attempting to make the defect less noticeable but not to remove it entirely. Some scratches and swirl marks are too deep to safely remove. Attempting to do so may
result in buffing through the top layer of paint or clear coat and permanent damage. Always test in an inconspicuous area.
p) Severe scratch and defect removal requires advanced training and the correct combination of detailing liquid compounds and polishes, pad selection and high
speed rotary buffer application. We do not recommend cutting or compounding paint with a high speed rotary buffer without prior experience.

n) Swirls and holograms are imperfections in paint appearance caused by thousands of
microscopic scratches in the clear coat. These scratches can be the result of polishing
with a high speed buffer, dirt and sand in the air, rough drying towels and car wash and
snow removal brushes. The removal of swirls and holograms is accomplished by removing
the fine scratches. Your Cyclo polisher does this with the right combination of liquid
compounds, polishes and pads and the correct technique.
o) If a scratch catches your fingernail then it’s likely too deep to remove. Polishing the scratched area is still recommended. However, do so with
the idea that you are attempting to make the defect less noticeable but not to remove it entirely. Some scratches and swirl marks are too deep to
safely remove. Attempting to do so may result in buffing through the top layer of paint or clear coat and permanent damage. Always test in an
inconspicuous area.
p) Severe scratch and defect removal requires advanced training and the correct combination of detailing liquid compounds and polishes,
pad selection and high speed rotary buffer application. We do not recommend cutting or compounding paint with a high speed rotary buffer
without prior experience.

Machine Operating Instructions
Your Cyclo Polisher has two heads rather than the single head common on other orbital-motion tools. As soon as the Cyclo Polisher is placed on a working
surface and powered on, orbital “hand-rubbing” action takes place. Each sides reactive forces from its polishing or scrubbing is counteracted by the opposite
side. Therein lies the secret of the tool’s ability to do many different types of jobs that could not be done with a single head orbital or a rotary tool. The two heads
move in a circular motion without forced spinning and are timed and weighted to balance away vibration forces. All the energy from the motor is directed to the
polishing or scrubbing action, and none returned to vibrating the user.
IMPORTANT POLISHER OPERATION INFORMATION:–EXCESSIVE PRESSURE DOES NOT IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND MAY DAMAGE THE
POLISHER’S TRANSMISSION. The hand-like action of the polisher’s heads prevents surface damage regardless of the pressure applied. Move the
machine slowly. You need not be afraid of burning, gouging, or swirling the surface.
1) General Polishing Instructions
a) After you have placed the pads or bonnets on your Cyclo Polisher, connect the tool to the power supply.
b) Apply a small amount of the proper polish or compound to each pad, just enough to spread across and fully cover the pad.
c) Place the Cyclo Polisher, pad side down on the surface, move the tool around before turning it on in order to distribute the polish within the pad over
the surface.
d) Turn on the tool and move it back and forth and side to side in a latticed pattern across an area approximately 2’ x 2’ in size. Use the first 20-30
seconds to further evenly spread the liquid detailing product. Then slow down.
e) Grip both handles of the polisher, and using only light or moderate pressure - letting the action and the weight of the tool do the work - move the
polishing heads across the area at a very slow comfortable speed. Deoxidize or polish the entire car in this manner. When you have finished, you can
remove any powdery or lubricant residue left by your liquid products using a microfiber towel. You may also use white foam pads or bonnets, or
microfibre or terry pad covers to removing any remaining residue.
f) If the residue does not wipe off easily, the surface is still not clean, repeat steps 2-5 as necessary.
g) As the pads become fully impregnated with polish or oxidized paint, they should be removed and washed. Never keep polish in pads overnight.
Additional pad care information is included below.
Pad Care Instructions. IMPORTANT INFORMATION:Clean pads are important to perfect polishing. Cleaning your pads well and before they dry will extend
their life. Use Genuine Cyclo CTI Pad Care – Pad Cleaner (84-404, 84-406) or a mild detergent and warm water. DO NOT WASH PADS IN GASOLINE OR
SOLVENTS. For maximum life, be sure to clean pads, bonnets, and pad covers after each use. To clean, spray CTI Pad Cleaner on the pad face, work in, and
let soak in a container of water-diluted Pad Cleaner. After soaking, rinse out, and if clean, place the items back on the Cyclo Polisher and run for a few seconds.
Allow the action of the machine to shake excess water from the pad. You may also just squeeze dry (do not twist or wring). Then allow to air dry. The pads and
bonnets should be cleaned as soon as possible after use, and do not allow compounds to dry in pads. The wool fiber pads should also be washed with CTI Pad
Cleaner and then run through with a brush. Pads and other accessories can also be machine washed in warm water and tumble dried in a clothes dryer.
General Scrubbing Instructions
h) Begin by vacuuming the loose debris and materials from the area to be scrubbed.
i) Pre-treat the area with Cyclo CTI Pad Care – Pad Cleaner or an alternative carpet cleaning agent or enzyme
j) With scrub brushes installed on the Cyclo machine, connect the tool to the power supply. For additional information on the installation of scrub
brushes, please refer to the CYCLO POLISHER SET-UP section of this document.
k) Place the Cyclo machine, brush side down on the surface.
l) Turn on the tool and move it back and forth and side to side in a latticed pattern.
m) Grip both handles of the polisher, and using only light or moderate pressure - letting the action and the weight of the tool do the work - move the
polishing brushes across the area at a comfortable speed.
n) When you have finished, you can wipe down the treated areas with an absorbent towel. If you have an extractor or wet vacuum, lightly wet the area
and extract the water.
o) As the brushes become impregnated with loose fibers, they should be removed, combed out and cleaned.
General Pad Cover Instructions
p) Disconnect from power source. Lay the polisher with heads facing up on your lap, a bench or flat surface. You can use the insert removed from
inside the polisher box to support polisher and hold it in place.
q) Attach pads or bonnets onto the Cyclo Polisher. It is common to use the Green Polishing, Yellow Cutting or Orange Compounding and Polishing
Foam Pads or a wool pad.
r) Stretch the pad cover’s elastic ring over the foam. Make sure that you have completely covered the foam pad. The elastic band should be place so as
not come in contact with each other when running. The Pad Cover will completely cover the foam (or wool) pad.
s) Rotate each head to ensure that the Pad Covers do not contact each other. If the Pad Covers contact each other continue to smooth out the covers
over the pads to remove any wrinkles in the material and to ensure that elastic bands are not making contact.
t) Connect the tool to the power supply.
u) For use in final buff and exterior detailing, follow the General Polishing Instructions above.
v) For use on interiors and upholstery, please refer to the General Scrubbing Instructions above
Attaching Rubber Pad Holders and Bonnets to Head Assemblies:
w) Disconnect from power source. Lay the polisher with heads facing up on your lap, a
bench or flat surface.
x) Take pad holder or bonnet and turn it completely inside-out.
y) Center the inside-out pad holder or bonnet onto the head assembly.
z) Flip one edge of pad holder or bonnet over the head assembly using your thumbs to
stretch it over the head.
aa) Rotate pad and stretch the other half of the pad holder or bonnet over the head
assembly.
bb) Use your thumbs to center the pad holder or bonnet over the head for an even fit.
cc) Complete for both head assemblies.
