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 19 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.
