5. Service and Replacement of parts
• Take the communication connector:
• When inserting the connector pins, make
sure the barbs, shown with green arrows,
are located as shown on the photo. If
not, they will not hook inside the
connector and will fall out.
• Inset the black connector pin into the
plug hole marked "MX". Remember to
orientate the barbs as described above.
A "click" will be heard when inserted
correctly.
• Inset the white pin in the other plug hole.
• When done, check that the connector
pins are firmly hooked inside the plug by
pulling gently in the wires.
• If not, check that the orientation of the
barbs is correct. If inserted correctly,
use a tool to press on the pins to ensure
they are pushed all the way in.
• When connecting to the tool flange, you
will need to tighten a loose knot, on the
communication wire, in order to shorten
it. This will minimize the risk of
squeezing the wire.
