6. Disconnect the two electrical connectors to the heater housing and feed them out of the slot in the
canopy bracket so they do not catch when the rail tension is released.
7. Loosen the 2 screws in the keyhole slots and remove the 6 remaining screws that secure the control
panel cover, then remove the cover.
8. Slide the decorative strip up about ½” in the groove on the outside of the upright to access the screw
that secures the lower upright end cap. Use a 2.5 mm hex key to remove the screw, then remove the
cap. Slide the decorative strip down to access the screw that secures the upper upright end cap and
remove the screw and decorative strip. The top end cap can now be removed by lifting the center cap
up out of the extrusion then sliding the outside end cap up and past the spring.
9. Remove the Display head assembly by following the steps in “Display Head Removal” on page 7-17 .
10. While holding on to the lift rail with one hand, tighten (CW) the intermediate stop set screw until the
inner rail is free, then carefully let the lift rail extend to its full height, releasing spring tension. It may be
necessary to pull gently on the canopy to free the standoffs from the rail.
11. Hold on to the upright, and using a 4 mm hex key, remove the 2 screws in the holes in the lower side of
the upright . Remove the entire upright assembly.
You can disconnect the electrical connector and ground to completely remove the upright or, if you wish,
there is enough slack in the wiring to allow you to work on the upright on a table or bench close to the
device without disconnecting the electrical or ground connection. Refer to section
7.5 for left rail internal
repairs and section 7.5.4 for reassembling the left upright.
