a.  Use the #2 Phillips Screwdriver to remove the 4 screws that 

secure the control box cover and remove the control box cover

b.  If AutoPilot was installed remove all six (6) wires connected to

the AutoPilot Board, then remove the Autopilot Board.  Cover 
the exposed end of each wire with one of the included heat 
shrinks and then use the heat gun to seal the heat shrink onto 
the connector end.

c.  Remove the Insert Plug.  Push from the inside, down on the edge

closest to the coil cord, the plug will “pop” out.

d.  Use the #2 Screwdriver to remove both sideplates, then remove

the Center Cover exposing the main control board.  If CoPilot is 
installed disconnect its plug connection from the main control 
board.
