1. Removing the air intake grilles (with air filters) 

(1) Slide the air intake grille holding knobs (at 2 or 3 locations) 

to the rear to open each air intake grille. (See Figure 1)

(2) While the air intake grilles left open, pull out each air 

intake grille by pressing the stoppers in the rear hinges (at 

2 or 3 locations). (See Figure 2)

2. 

Removing the electrical box

(1) Remove the air intake grilles. (See Figure 1,2) 

(2) Remove the beam by removing 1 screw (4
