STEERING WHEEL REMOVAL

1. Disconnect the batteries and discharge the controller. See Disconnecting the Batteries – Electric Vehicles
on page 1-3.

Page 7-3).
3. Remove the scorecard holder plate (1).

be placed back in exactly the same position on steering column shaft.
5. Loosen the steering wheel bolt (6) and back it off approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm). Do not remove the bolt.
