7.6 Replacing Hinge Assembly

Precautions:
1. Turn OFF main power switch located under contour bed on top of power box or disconnect
the unit from power source before beginning this procedure.
2. Two people are needed to perform portions of this procedure (hood removal and
attachment).
Tools Required: Two wrenches with ½ inch capability, medium/large Phillips screwdriver.
Preliminary Procedures:
Remove hood (See Section 7.1) and carefully set aside by placing edge of the hood on a
carpeted or padded floor as shown in 7.3.1 Upside down Hood Position.
Hinge Removal Steps:
1. Use the wrenches to loosen the nut on the pin bolt as shown in Figure 7.6.1 Removing Strut Pin
Bolt and Nylon Spacers on Upper Hinge Assembly and remove the bolt, grasping the spacers
and washers so they do not fall through lower hinge opening into base of Alpha. NOTE:
Position of the washers and spacers, as well as mounting hole of pin bolt, for re-installation.
2. Open hinge and remove five screws from the hinge plate attached to the base chassis as
shown in Figure 7.6.2 Removing Hinge Plate Screws on Base Chassis. Grasp each nut as it
releases from the screw to avoid dropping into cavity of base.
3. Carefully lift the hinge assembly up and out of the base chassis and set on prepared work
surface.
4. Use the wrenches to remove pin bolt and nylon spacers from the lower hinge mount. Remove
the Struts. NOTE: The hole in which the pin bolt is originally mounted.
