Procedure 7.14 - Replacing a Main Column

1.

Procedure

1.

Remove the rear cover and disconnect the red battery lead from terminal M6 of the lower 
PCA.

2.

Attach the anti-static wrist strap to your arm, then connect the ground lead of the wrist strap 
to the EFX frame.

3.

Remove the four screws that secure the display housing front panel to the display backing 
plate.

4.

Disconnect the heart rate cable (connector J1) and upper interconnect cable (connector J5) 
from the upper PCA. Remove the display housing front panel.

5.

Remove the four screws that fasten the display backplate to the upper main column. 
Remove the display housing backplate.

6.

Pry the end cap out the front of the frame base tube with a thin bladed screwdriver (See 
Diagram 7.5).

7.

Carefully withdraw both cables and mid-point connector. Disconnect the upper interconnect 
cable from the mid-point connector. Carefully draw the upper interconnect cable out of the 
upper end of the main column. Set the cable aside to be re-installed later.
