Warning
The protective panels are held in place using plugs. Loosen them by pressing in the locking pin in the centre of the plug, e.g. using a screwdriver or a pen. Once you have pressed in the pin a sufficient distance, you can pull the plug out. Avoid pressing the pin the whole way through the plug in order to prevent it from falling between components. Pull the locking pin out completely when reattaching the plug to reinstall the panel. Once the plug is positioned in the mounting hole, the locking pin can be pressed into place again, which secures the panel.
A specific sequence should be followed when removing or installing the protective panels due to the way in which they overlap each other. To detach the panels, follow the steps below:
