CAUTION:

When installing, the magnet -A- may stick to metallic objects (tools, for example). If it does, it must be reinserted in the correct position.

A magnet that is installed incorrectly or is missing leads to shift mechanism malfunctions.

-- When installing a new cover strip, check to make sure the magnet -A- is present and is installed correctly. Refer to MAGNET INSTALLED POSITION, CHECKING .

Replace the cover strip if the magnet is lost.
