as illustrated in the close-up view.
3. Ensure that the insulator packing is installed correctly.
4. Replace the switch cover, the two (2) switch cover screws,
and the dust cover. Care should be taken not to pinch wires
and make sure that the switch cover goes on easily and
stays flat. If there is resistance to the switch cover lying flat
and in place, stop, remove the cover and make sure that no
wires are being pinched. DO NOT USE A POWER
SCREWDRIVER TO SECURE THE COVER.
NOTE: For general servicing, it is necessary to eliminate
pinching of any wire during reassembly. After servicing
any electrical component or electrical enclosure, the unit
