Control.

leads from the wire
harness.
3. With the platen in the
UP position, support it
with a pry bar, 2x4, etc.,
from behind the platen
arm assembly. Pull the
platen arm toward
the rear of the grill to
insert.
4. With the weight of the
platen supported by
the object inserted
in step 3, use pliers
to work the clevis pin
retaining clip outward,
making sure to grip it
as close to the pin as
possible to prevent
deforming it.

remove the spring
clip from the pin at
the base of the Linear
Actuator.
6. Push the pin through
the actuator base
toward the inside of
the grill. Reach around

removing the pry bar.
Then, carefully lower
platen to the down
position, resting it on
the grill plate.
9. Screw NEW linear
actuator shaft down
approximately 2 turns
from bottoming out.
DO NOT completely
bottom out shaft as
it may not be long
enough to reconnect
the upper clevis clip.
10. Re-install linear
actuator into rack
assembly. If motor
does not clear the
cross member, use pry
bar to gently lift and
t as previously done
in step 3. Reinstall
actuator base pin from

spring clip.
