1. Lock the rails in the intermediate position by raising the canopy then slowly lowering it until the rail
locking screws align with the horizontal oblong holes in the rails. Lock both rails by turning the screws
CCW (4 mm hex key) until they lock the rails in place. Switch off the device and disconnect the power
cord.
2. Using a small straight blade screwdriver, remove the 6 arrow clips that secure the soffit beneath the
rear of the canopy and remove the soffit.
3. Using a 2.5 mm hex key, remove the 4 screws that secure the heater housing cover to the heater door
bracket and remove the cover.
4. Remove the right inside cover by removing the 2 screws and nuts (2 mm hex key, 5.5 mm wrench) that
secure it around the door cable.
5. Remove the steel tube that routes the door cable into the lift rail. Use a 3 mm hex key to remove the
screw in the front cable clip. Use a 2.5 mm hex key and 7 mm wrench to remove the screw and nut in
the side cable clip.
6. Disconnect the heater door cable. The cable end is accessed through the two holes on the back of the
lift rail. First pry off the hole plug, then rotate the plastic tube so the hex head screw securing the
conical cap faces the rear. Push a small hex key or screwdriver through the small lower hole in the rail,
through the lower hole in the plastic tube inside the lift rail, and back through the rail on the other side
of the tube to hold the tube in place. Insert a 2 mm hex key through the larger hole to partially back out
the screw that fastens the conical cap to the plastic tube. Pull the cap out of the rail. Pull out the key in
the tube hole and let the tube drop down in the upright.
