• In the event the unit is starting, let the unit run until it will switch off automatically. Try to switch on the unit again in order to verify that the battery pack is completely discharged. Repeat the entire process so long until the unit cannot be switched on any more.
• Before starting removal, remove all accessory parts from the motor unit.

To begin with, the unit must be opened at the upper and lower cover of the motor unit.
