Chapter 8: Maintenance
4. Attach the drive assembly to the chassis with three nuts at the top, and two screws at
each side, near the bottom.
Use the nuts, screws, and washers you removed from the old drive assembly.
5. Remove the pin or screw you used to hold the wheel in the up position.
6. Put the side cover next to the platform, and attach the light disc cable to the light disc
PCA.
7. Reinstall the side cover.
8. Connect the battery power and data cables, and close the battery compartment door.
9. Reinstall the rear cover.
Front or Rear Casters
All four casters are identical, and are mounted to the platform in the same way.
NOTE : If you have a means to lift the chassis of the platform enough to access the
screws that hold on the caster, you can avoid removing the payload and the bat-
tery, which are only necessary to tilt the platform on its side.
1. Move the payload out of the way.
If the payload can be completely removed, do so. This step is to enable you to tip the
Pioneer LX on its side, so you have access to the casters underneath.
2. Remove the inner rear cover.
3. Unlatch and open the battery compartment door, at the back of the platform.
The battery compartment door is capable of being locked. You may need to unlock it
before opening.
4. Disconnect the battery by unplugging the two cables at the rear of the battery.
5. Remove the battery from the platform.
6. Remove the side covers.
7. Lay the body of the platform on its side, exposing the casters.
8. Remove the four screws and washers holding the caster to the platform.
Retain these screws and washers for attaching the new caster.
