Removing The Case
Step 1.) Unscrew the (6) phillips-head screws along the
bottom of the red case where it attaches to the chassis of
the machine. (2-front, 2-rear, one on each side)
Step 2.) Unscrew the 4 black panel screws on the top left,
right, and bottom left, right sections of the panel. Pull the
panel out away from the case, and un-plug the Feed tab
(J23), and the positive and negative XLR wires coming from
the XLR Jack. Unscrew the ground wire coming from the Ball
Guide, to the control panel. Take this wire and wrap it
around the Deflector wire to keep it from touching the
control board.
Step 3.) Lift the red case off the chassis and set it aside.
(Make sure to not allow the Ground Wire from the case to
touch the Green control board and panel- this could fry the
ground wire.)

davit assembly is the Yoke Bolt. (This bolt has a nut holding
it on the end of the Davit Right). Using a Crescent Wrench
and a 9/16” Wrench, unscrew and remove the Yoke Bolt,
the Small and Larger Spacer, and the 3 to 5 washers.
