I will lower the lid with the geared wheel, ensuring that the coaming rim sits centrally against the packing. Will I then position and tighten the dogs, working back and forth so that is an even pressure applied overall.

I will tighten all dogs fully on one side first, then complete the opposite side to save time.

I will leave the lid slightly loose to allow pressure equalization during loading.

I will secure only two dogs, as this is sufficient to hold the lid in place during operations.
