WARNING
Moving parts can cut or crush. The gas assist lift
mechanism is under pressure. Disconnect gas spring
before removing motor from mount. Do not engage the
Pull Grip and Cable until gas spring is disconnected.
WARNING
The gas assist lift mechanism in this unit is under high
spring pressure when the motor is in the deployed position.
Do not remove the Steering Module assembly from the mount
without disconnecting one end of the gas spring. Failure to
do this can create a condition where accidental pulling of
the Pull Grip and Cable may cause the mount to spring open
rapidly, striking anyone or anything in the direct path.
d. Once the screws are removed, the pin and spacers
can be removed from the Upper Cylinder.
e. Now it is safe to move the motor into the deployed
position.
