Installation
1.
Compress the springs of the new drive assembly by pushing the drive wheel up. When it is in the
up position, insert a Ø6 x 10 mm (Ø0.24 x 0.4 in.) pin into the rear hole on the side of the assembly.
There is a hole on each side.
NOTE: Make sure that the pin is short enough so that you can pull it out after the
assembly is in place. An M5 x 10 screw works well for this.
2.
Connect the motor cable to the new drive assembly.
3.
Install the new drive assembly over the three studs at the top of its bracket.
4.
Attach the drive assembly to the chassis with three nuts at the top, and two screws at each side,
near the bottom.
Use the nuts, screws, and washers you removed from the old drive assembly.
5.
Remove the pin or screw you used to hold the wheel in the up position.
6.
Put the side cover next to the platform, and attach the light disc cable to the light disc PCA.
7.
Reinstall the side cover.
8.
Connect the battery power and data cables, and close the battery compartment door.
9.
Reinstall the rear cover.

Front or Rear Casters

All four casters are identical, and are mounted to the platform in the same way.
NOTE: If you have a means to lift the chassis of the platform enough to access the screws that
hold on the caster, you can avoid removing the payload and the battery, which are only necessary
to tilt the platform on its side.
1.
Move the payload out of the way.
