3. Disconnect the high voltage cable from the plug area. Disconnect
the low voltage cable from the connector relay area under the arm.
At this time, in disconnecting the high voltage cable, loosen the ring
rotation stopper (set screws in 4 positions). It is recommended for
easier work to remove also the angle bending the high voltage
cable.
(If this angle remains attached, it is difficult to connect the high
voltage cable to the plug.)
