Chapter 8: Maintenance

NOTE: If you have a means to lift the chassis of the platform enough to access the
screws that hold on the caster, you can avoid removing the payload and the bat-
tery, which are only necessary to tilt the platform on its side.

1. Move the payload out of the way.

If the payload can be completely removed, do so. This step is to enable you to tip the
Lynx AIV on its side, so you have access to the casters underneath.

2. Remove the inner rear cover.

3. Unlatch and open the battery compartment door, at the back of the platform.

The battery compartment door is capable of being locked. You may need to unlock it
before opening.

4. Disconnect the battery by unplugging the two cables at the rear of the battery.

5. Remove the battery from the platform.

6. Remove the side covers.

7. Lay the body of the platform on its side, exposing the casters.

8. Remove the four screws holding the caster to the platform.

Retain these screws for attaching the new caster.

9. Remove the caster from the platform.

10. Attach the new caster with the four screws you removed from the old caster.
