After entering the service mode, execute the following mode.
Service mode: SERVICE MODE > FUNCTION > CR UNLOCK
b) Opening the Cap/Releasing the Carriage Lock Pin/Moving the Wiper Unit manually
1) Remove right circle cover (L), right circle cover (S), right side cover and upper right cover.
2) Insert a Phillips screwdriver from the right side into hole [1] in the shaft of the lift unit in the purge unit and turn it counterclockwise. This will lower cap [2] and
