– Remove the cables of the power supply.
– Release the screw connection of the cable entry. Remove the cables through the
opening.
4. Release the screwed connections of the internal stator cables, optionally also those at the
neutral point.

6. Remove the screwed joints of the lower section with the console or optionally the cable duct.
7. Screw in two eye-bolts diagonally in the M10 thread at the corners. Slightly raise the terminal
box housing using a crane.
8. Rotate the terminal box through ±90° in the desired direction. Carefully place the terminal
box down. Take care not to damage the seal.
