The hook is attached to the cover by threading it trough a ventilation hole or by affixing it to a grip recess. If required, turn the hook sideways and tilt the tool to reach a good fixing point.

To achieve the correct leverage effect, the lever is aligned to point to the center of the cover. Slide back the lever until the hexagonal foot is outside the cover area and can be placed on the cover-ring. Now firmly press down the lever handle to apply leverage and loosen the cover.

Once the cover has been loosened, slide the lever towards the cover center until both feet are placed on the cover itself.
