3. The box can now be removed. When removing, do it slowly, making sure that all wires
are disconnected.
Removing the drive base from the body: ( This would be necessary only if you needed to get
to the drive pulleys, belts or remove a drive motor.)
1. Remove the robot battery from Pumper before removing the drive base.
2. On some models, the main electronics box and bracket have to be removed first.
3. Disconnect the drive motor wires at the in line connection. These wires are blue and
yellow wires going to each drive motor.
4. Rotate the handles of the Link Lock Latches in the drive base counter-clockwise. This
will release the latch from the slot of the mounting plate.
5. Lift the back of the robot up and roll the drive base out from under it.
Installing the drive base back into the body:
1. Lift the back of the robot up enough to roll the drive base under and into position.
2. Line up the four aligning threads with their holes and lower the robot onto them.
3. Turn the handle of the Link Lock Latch clockwise and make sure that it pulls down into
the slot of the mounting plate.
4. Keep turning the handle until it is turned as far clockwise as possible and then lay down
the handle. This locks the mechanism.
