Step 8 - Motor/Wheel

Disassembly

Note: For ease of disassembly, set the base frame on a block where all six wheels are at least 1 inch above the ground.

a.Unwrap the wire looms from the motor and pull the motor connector out (figure s8.1).

b.Depress the motor connector locking tab and unplug it (figure s8.1).

c.Use a 5mm hex key to remove the six mounting screws (figure s8.2).

d.Hold the motor-wheel assembly and tilt the cog release rod toward the center of the base to get around the motor mount, then pull the motor-wheel assembly out through the bottom of the frame.

e.Straighten the lock washer tab of the drive wheel.

f.Use a 17mm deep socket wrench to remove the drive wheel retention nut, then pull the drive wheel out from the motor shaft.

Note: If the drive wheel is difficult to remove, then remove the wheel plate screws (Phillips Head)

Reassembly

a.Perform the reverse of instructions above. Note: Torque specifications

* Motor mounting screws

15-20 ft-lbs

* Wheel retention nut

35-40 ft-lbs

* Wheel plate screw

Adjustment

Note: There is a suspension bumper on the frame to limit the motor’s movement (figure 8.3). It also changes the pre- load on the front caster.
