Dismantling
Proceed as follows:
1. Loosen all valve and blanking plates on the sub-base from which you wish to remove the interlinking
board ( section 5.3.4).
2. Remove the electronics module from the sub-base ( section 5.3.6).
3. Loosen the sub-base from the adjac ent components ( section 5.3.7).
4. If you wish to remove the last interlinking board in front of the right MPA end plate, you must re-
move the end piece type MPA from this interlinking board.
