Quick question on P150 drive installation

The picture in the manual is very small and difficult to see...

Do you twist the rubber mounting cables completely around, for a tighter fit on the drive? Or do you insert the drive without twisting the cables completely around?

For a loose fit a half twist will do - having no twist at all will result in the drive not being held in place and falling out when moving the machine.

For a firm fit a full twist is better - have top back on top, bottom back on bottom.

All the above applies to 3.5" drives. For 2.5" drives multiple twists are probably required.
