Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Remove the back panel

4. Release the slide lock
Loosen the slide lock to allow removal of the controller.
5. Remove the controller
Slide the old controller out completely.
Reinstallation Steps
6. Slide in the new SlickDevice™ controller
Carefully insert the new controller into the slot.
7. Tighten the slide lock
Secure the controller by tightening the slide lock.
8. Reconnect all cables (left to right):
- Connect the resistivity probe (align pins correctly).
- Connect the light indicator cable and tighten screws.
- Attach the 50-pin connector and secure it with the flathead screwdriver.
- Reattach the high-voltage and motor controller umbilicals.
9. Reinstall the grounding wire
Hand-tighten the nut, then use the 5/16” nut driver to finish securing it.
