Step 1

              Open housing
  • It is best to open the case at the rear of the connectors.
  • The lid has lugs (1) made of plastick which are hardened in the bottom pan (2). By pressing the bottom pan to the outside they can be solved. Best with a flat screwdriver or similar tool.
  • The manufacturer does not seem to have intended the opening, so some shrinkage at the entanglement can not be excluded. (3)
