FoodSaver V4980 Bottom Panel Replacement

Prerequisite Only
This is a prerequisite-only guide! This guide is part of another procedure and isn’t meant to be used alone.

Introduction

The most difficult part of this operation is finding the necessary screws that will have to be removed using a PH2 Phillips Head screw driver and spudger. In order to view the vacuum pump and/or inspect the inner workings of you appliance this bottom panel must be removed first.
