NOTE: This procedure is best performed with two people.
1
Slide the safety rods away from the steering servo to release
the lower pivot pin.
NOTE: The two safety rods don't need to move very far to
release the lower pivot pin. If either gas spring is still
connected to the lower link, however, the safety rods lock the
lower pivot pin in place, and it cannot be removed.
2
While supporting the weight of the steering servo, push the
lower pin out from one side, and pull to remove it completely.
The steering servo is no longer connected to the mount.
Connecting the Steering Servo to the Mount
If you removed the steering servo from the mount for service,
you can follow these procedures to reconnect it.
1
Connect the steering servo to the lower link of the mount
( Installing the Steering Servo on the Lower Link of the Mount ,
page 19 ).
2
Secure the upper gas spring ( Securing the Upper Gas
Spring , page 20 ).
3
Connect the upper link of the mount to the steering servo
( Connecting the Upper Link of the Mount to the Steering
Servo Housing , page 20 ).
4
Connect the motor to the display panel ( Connecting the
Motor to the Display Panel , page 20 ).
5
Secure the lower gas spring ( Securing the Lower Gas Spring ,
page 21 ).
6
Route the power and transducer cables through the mount
( Routing the Power and Transducer Cables Through the
Mount , page 10 ).
Installing the Steering Servo on the Lower Link of the Mount
1
Pivot the lower link of the mount forward until it locks into the
base.
2
Push the two safety rods into the lower link as far as
possible.
3 From the inside out, insert the bushings into the lower
holes on the steering servo housing.
4 Holding the pull cable up, place the steering servo housing
onto the lower link of the mount, aligning the lower holes on
the housing with the holes on the link.
5
While lifting up on the steering servo housing, push the pivot
pin through the housing and the link to hold it in place.
NOTICE
Do not hit the pin with a hammer or other object. Do not drill
or modify the holes. Although it is a snug fit, the pin slides in
completely when pushed by hand. Damage caused by
hammering the pin or modifying the holes is not covered
under warranty.
6
Route the pull cable upward through the top of the steering
servo housing .
