Changing blanking plug (if fitted)

On encoder designs with a blanking plug, the blanking plug may come loose due to
vibration. To ensure adequate sealing, a blanking plug that has come loose must be
replaced.
 Remove and dispose of the blanking plug.
 Clean the cover and the thread in the bore using acetone.
Ensure no foreign bodies fall through the hole into the housing.
 Prior to screwing in, clean the new blanking plug and lock the thread using Loctite
243.
 Tighten the blanking plug to maximum 5 Nm.
