Mount the spool on the cover so that the grooves and
protrusions on the spool match up with those on the
cover. Now, unhook the ends of the cord from their
temporary position and feed the cords through the eyelets
to come out of the cover. (Fig. 34)
Align the protrusion on the underside of the cover with the
slots of the eyelets. Then push the cover firmly onto the
housing to secure it. Make sure the latches fully spread in
the cover.
