When you use the friction feed on either the FX-80 or the FX-100 or the built-in tractor on the FX-80, use the pair of flat protective lids (Figure 1-5). When you use the removable tractor unit, use the tractor cover (Figure 1-6).

Install the center protective lid by inserting tabs into slots (one tab per side on the FX-80, two on the FX-100).Fit the left side of the lid over the friction-control lever (you may need to slightly bow the middle of the lid before you can snap the tabs into their slots). When you need to change the setting of the pin feeder on the FX-80or install a tractor unit on either model, remove this lid by giving it a slight upward tug.
