With the exception of the bumper cover, no tools are needed for either the removal or instal-
lation of the covers.
Cover Removal
NOTE : After removing covers, place them inner-side down, so the outer surfaces
don't get scratched.
The covers can be removed in the order in which they are listed above.
l
The rear outer must wait for the rear inner and the two side covers.
l
The front upper must wait for the two side covers.
l
The two sides, the rear inner, and the bumper cover can all be removed without remov-
ing any other covers, except that the left cover must wait for the access panel.
NOTE : The light disc covers are not covered here because they are only removed
from the side covers to replace one of the light disc controllers.
Rear Inner Cover (Battery)
This provides access to the battery compartment door.
1. Pull the bottom of the cover away from the platform chassis.
This is easiest if you grip it with two hands, toward the center.
2. Lower the cover down, so its top tab clears the rear outer cover.
Joystick and External Ethernet Port Access Panel
This provides access to the Maintenance Ethernet and the Joystick ports.
1. Push the left (front) side of the panel in, and the latch will release it.
Pushing the panel a second time will reattach it to the platform.
2. Pull the left side out, and slide the panel to the left.
The panel is attached with a lanyard, to prevent getting lost.
You will need to place this panel out of the way when removing the left side cover.
Side Covers
1. For the left side cover, put the access panel out of the way.
2. Pull the bottom of the cover, near both sides, away from the chassis.
3. Work your way up the edges of the cover, pulling it away from the chassis as you go.
