5. Remove the front section.
6. Pull off the ADJUST knob by hand or work it loose with a small screw driver.
Place the screw driver in the gap between big nut and encoder, see fig. 5.
7. Place the front profile horizontally with the buttons facing down. Place
the profile on some stand-off to avoid any pressure on the push buttons.
8. At the end with ADJUST , pull out the two white front board guides.
Opening up the profile a little will lighten the pressure at the guides, see
fig. 5.
Note: All push buttons are loose in the profile after removing the guides.
9. Use the ribbon cable to lift up the front board assembly a little and then slide it
out gently at the end with ADJUST encoder. The shaft of the encoder can just
exactly come out in this way.
