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

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.
