(2) Be sure to apply grease to the gears and applicable positions specified in this chapter.
(3) When using soldering irons or other heat-generating tools, take care not to accidentally damage
parts such as wires, PCBs and covers.
(4) Static electricity charged in your body may damage electronic parts. When transporting PCBs, be
sure to wrap them in conductive sheets.
(5) When replacing the PCB and all the other related parts, put on a grounding wrist band and perform
the job on a static mat. Also take care not to touch the conductor sections on the flat cables or on
the wire harness.

are not at an angle.

the connector has a lock, release the connector lock first to release it.

related portions are functioning properly before operational checks.
