Component Access

COMPONENT ACCESS AND REMOVAL

This section explains how to access and remove components from a Wolf V-Series Hood. An attempt has been made to arrange these procedures in such a way as to simulate which components would need to be removed first in order to gain access to the other components. When following a component removal procedure, it may be necessary to reference another component removal procedure listed earlier in this section.

Note: Before continuing, please take note of the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS below.
