RACEWAY DISASSEMBLY
//
The Spire III Raceway can be detached by unplugging the wiring
harness from the motor and pressing the Raceway Removal Tab on
the bottom of the tray then slide the Raceway and motor assembly
down and out. To reinstall the Raceway, slide the back of the Race-
way into the two slots first and then snap the Raceway Release tab
back into place. Take care to Make sure the wiring harness is not
pinched.
PCB ELECTRONICS PACKAGE REMOVAL
//
The PCB electronics package can be removed after unplugging the
motor and removing the Raceway. At the front of the tray gently bend
each corner of the front tray PCB tabs away from the PCB and
remove the PCB package. To reinstall the PCB slide the back of the
PCB into the tray and then flex the front tray tabs around each side of
the front of the PCB.
There is no particular maintenance needed for the Spire III. Keeping it clean and using fresh batteries is all that is required.
If you leave the Spire III unused for more than 6 months it is suggested to remove the batteries to avoid damage due to a
possible leaking battery.
For normal cleaning of the Spire III, remove the Spire tray and set it aside. The shell can be washed under the sink using
warm water and mild detergent. Do not use a dishwasher, boiling water or other strong chemicals as this can weaken the
plastic. Remove the Spire III Drive from the tray and wash it like the shell.
Remove and clean the Raceway by hand. Generally, it's ok if the Raceway and motor assembly gets wet, but do not
submerge it in water to prolong the life components.
The PCB Electronics Package can also be removed and cleaned by hand. Do not submerge the PCB in water. Clean the
paint off the PCB using a cotton swab or paper towel. All of the electronics are conformal coated for weather and paint
resistance, however prolonged exposure to paint will eventually corrode away the coating and damage the electrical
components.
