1. Using a 4mm hex key, remove the screw that secures the springs to the lift rail. The springs will roll back
around their spools.
2. The spools slide out of their mounting slots. To reinstall the spools, assemble each of the spools by wedging
them into the rail with the plastic washers at either side of each spool, then slide all the assembled spools
into their mounting slots at the same time. Lubricate the spring spools by placing a drop of Lubriplate
where the spool hub seats in the slot.
NOTE: Replace all the buoyancy springs in an upright at the same.
