angle (dump).

1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Loosen the rear shroud fasteners and remove the rear
shroud. See figure 6.
3. Disconnect the controller connectors from the power
module.
4. Flip up the seat latch safety. See figure 13.

trapeze bar.

posts. See figure 14.
8. Remove the retaining clips that secure the seat posts to
the power base. See figure 14.
