REMOVED FROM COLUMN
Carefully tip the Transmission Cover up to free the
Motor Drive, then carefully lift the Motor/ Control Board
up from the Lower Gearcase Cover and set them
aside.

the Motor and Control Assembly, temporarily secure
the Transmission Cover by replacing the (4) 8-32 x 5/

` the Lower Cover for access to the Power Cord and not
spill any grease.

Power Cord is fully exposed and you can proceed with
the access by removing the (3) 1/4 - 20 x 3/4" Phillips
Screws that hold the Lower Cover to the Column.
These are larger than the 8-32 x 5/8" Screws and
will often require a power Screwdriver to be loosened.
7. Power Cord Replacement - The old Power
Cord can be freed from the Lower Cover by hand once
the Column has been removed.
Always cut the old cord into small pieces and then
dispose.
Follow these steps in reverse order after you have
positioned the new Power Cord into the Lower Cover.
