The Drive Motor and gearbox unit are attached to the underside of a sliding mounting plate. The output shaft of
the gearbox is attached to a drive pinion gear. The pinion gear in turn rotates against a rack gear which is
attached to a slide on the carrier. The pinion gear must be disengaged from the rack gear to allow the carriage
to be moved manually. To disengage the pinion gear from the rack gear, loosen the two locking handles which
anchor the motor slide plate. The handles may be lifted slightly to disengage the handle from its threaded shaft
and rotate them to a more accessible position. Once the handles have been rotated as desired, allow them to
drop back down so that they re-engage. Loosen both handles so that the motor mounting plate is free to slide in
and out.
