Cleaning and Lubricating the Locking Mechanism
This procedure is best performed with the motor halfway between the stowed and deployed positions. When
in this position, the motor is not secured, so you should support the motor and use extreme caution to avoid
pinching or crushing hands or fingers.
1 Place the motor between the stowed and deployed positions so the base is oriented vertically and you can
access both locking mechanisms
2 Support the weight of the motor so it cannot fall and crush your hands or fingers.
3 Clean any debris, dirt, and build up from all of the locking mechanism channels.
4 Apply a silicone lubricating grease to the locking mechanisms and the channels.
5 Pull and release the pull cable a number of times to move the mechanisms in the channels and distribute the
grease.
6 If necessary, apply additional grease and repeat the previous step.
7 Clean any debris, dirt, and build up from the latch receivers
8 Apply a silicone lubricating grease to the upper surface
base, so the locking mechanisms slide smoothly into the receivers.
