STARTING NOTES

• WARNING
  The motor must be disconnected from power before beginning disassembly.
  

• CAUTION
  To prevent damage to the new board touch a grounded piece of metal prior to handling the control board.

• NOTE: Put the motor in the deployed position soithat you can turn the motor lower unit in relation to the steer housing. This allows you to change the postion of the foot pedal and better access the components of the pedal. If the motor cannot be in the deployed position and steered as described a second person will probably be necessary to control the motor as the foot pedal and control board are worked on.

• NOTE: Ideally the #1 Phillips screwdriver will be a “stubby screwdriver, less than 4 in overall length. This will make accessing the screws retaining the sensors much easier.

DISASSEMBLY

1. a. Position the Motor Lower Unit so the Foot Pedal is ‘Toe Down”. Grasp the Lower Unit or Control Box and rotate it to manually position the foot pedal.
   • b. Use the #1 Phillips Screwdriver to remove the two #4-24 x 1/4″ Screws from the sensor at the heel, in the base of the foot pedal.
   • c. Tip the sensor to slide it into the opening in the foot pedal base. Set the two screws aside, they will be reused during reassembly.

2. a. Rotate the Motor Lower Unit so the Foot Pedal is “Toe Up”.
   • b. Use the #1 Phillips Screwdriver to remove the two #4-24 x 1/4″ Screws from the sensor adjacent to the steering cables, in the base of the foot pedal.
   • c. Tip the sensor to slide it into the opening in the foot pedal base. Set the two screws aside, they will be reused during reassembly.
   • d. Use the pliers to firmly grasp the E-ring securimi the speed selector knob, and pull the E-ring off. With the E-ring removed the knob and spring will pull straight out the side of the pedal; set the E- ring, knob, and spring aside for reuse during reassembly.
   • e. Use the 1/2″ wrench to loosen the nut on the potentiometer (blue shaft and housing that the speed selector knob was connected to). Once the nut is loose the potentiometer assembly can be slid off its mounting location on the pedal.
   • f. Use the wire cutter to remove the zip tie that secures the wires from the momentary switch (two thin black wires) to the wires coming from the steering sensor board.

CAUTION
Take extra care not to cut or otherwise damage the wire to the steering sensor board when cutting the zip tie securing the momentary switch wires.

  * g. Remove the Momentary Button by pushing the exposed tab on the underside of the Foot Pedal Upper so it unlatches, then lift the Button until it clears the Button cavity.!
  * h. Remove the Reed Switch and Reed Switch Clip fro1 the Foot Pedal Upper by squeezing the Reed Switch Clip with a pliers at the underside of the Foot Pedal Upper and pushing the Reed Switch Clip up through the Foot Pedal Upper. I  

i. Slide the Reed Switch out of the Reed Switch Clip by pushing the bottom edge of the Reed Switch with your small flat blade screwdriver upward though the slot in the side of the Reed Switch Clip.

  * j. Unroute the wiring for the Potentiometer and the Reed Switch so both are ready to be pulled through the base of the Foot Pedal.

3. a. Turn the Foot Pedal Assembly over to expose the Bottom Plate. Use the #2 Phillips Screwdriver to remove all the screws in the Bottom Plate. Note that there are two types of Screws used here, the (2) #10-32 x 1/2″ Machine Screws that secure the control board to the Bottom Plate and the (12) #8-18 x 5/8″ Thread Cutting Screws that hold the Bottom Plate to the Foot Pedal Base. Discard the (2) #10-32 x 1/2″ Machine Screws, replacements are included in this kit. Set the (12) #8-18 x 5/8″ Screws aside, they will be reused in assembly.

4. a. Cut the cable tie that secures the Power Switch wires, End of Travel Sensor Wires and Indicator Light Board ribbon cable.
   • b. Remove the two White Leads from the Power Switch. Remove and set aside the conduit that covers the white wires and the sensor wires.
   • c. Use the #2 Phillips Screwdriver to remove the screw securing the Indicator Light Assembly to the Foot Pedal Base. Set this screw aside, it will be reufsed during reassembly.
     NOTE: The screw securing the Indicator Light Assembly is the same thread size as the screws for the bottom plate, but it is longer.

5. a. Use the Needlenose Pliers to disconnect the Power Leads and Motor Leads from the Control Board.
   • b. Disconnect the Accessory Plug, pull straight apart on the two sides of the connector avoid twisting as this can damage the pins in the connector.
   • c. Remove the Connector for the Steering Sensor from the control board. Use the small flatblade screwdriver to disengage the locking tab on the plug connector as you pull the plug straight away from the control board. Grasp the plug, not the wires.
   • d. Disconnect the Steering Leads (the white and black leads connected by bullet connectors).
   • e. Disconnect the Lower Unit Bonding Wire (the brown wire connected to the board via blade connector).
     CAUTION
     Take extra care disconnecting the Accessory Attachment and Steering Sensor Cable Connector, damaging to these will require replacing additional components.
