CTUATOR

EPLACEMENT

Removal

Remove the screws holding the center ACM

cover.

Then remove the remaining screws from the

actuator cover and gently pull the actuator

cover from the ACM.

Each actuator is identified by a letter. Each

actuator has two cables: a power cable and

an encoder cable.

Identify both cables related to the actuator

you wish to remove. Unplug both cables.
