Procedure:
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Using a 5/16” socket wrench, remove the six bolts holding
the lower lift cover to the base and remove the cover.
2. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws holding the upper lift cover to the base.
3. Using a 5/16” nut driver, remove the two screws holding the front and back metal access panels to the
lift housing assembly and remove the panels.
4. Disconnect the two connectors (A) at the motor capacitor.
5. Disconnect the white connector (B) from the power cord.
6. Using side cutters, cut the cable ties holding the capacitor (C) to the base and remove the capacitor.
7. Using a 3/16” hex Allen socket, remove the four screws (D) holding the motor assembly in the lift housing
and remove the motor assembly.
8. Use the access holes in the lift housing to view the alignment of the new motor drive shaft to the motor
coupler. Lift the motor into place and secure it with the bolts removed in step 7. Hold the nuts that the
bolts are being turned into through the access holes until the threads of the bolts are started.
9. Using cable ties, reinstall the new capacitor to the base.
NOTE
The drive shaft on the new motor probably will have to be turned to be aligned with the coupler. Use a 7/16”
open end wrench to turn the drive shaft of the motor.
10. Reattach the three connectors, return all wiring to its original position and reinstall all panels and covers.
NOTE
The procedure for lift motor and capacitor removal and replacement is the same for both ends of the bed.
