There are two types of rear handle removal procedure, as follows:
• On older-type Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N systems, the rear handles are glued to the aluminium
bars and have to be cut and peeled off the aluminium bars to remove them.
Refer to the instructions in Removing Handles Glued in Position.
• On newer Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N systems, the rear handles are secured with a mounting
screw (see Figure 8-72). In this instance, the screw is released and the handle slides off the
