2. Disconnect power from outlet

3. Disconnect hoses from guider per Guider removal instructions, while grounded.

4. Open black box.

5. Unscrew the captive screws from the guider box

6. Pull the guider box out until you are able to reach the small phillips head screws from the rear of the compartment

7. Remove the 4 phillips head screws that attach the top of the box to the side panels

8. Using a thin flat head screw driver, carefully pry the top up from the sides of the box until you are able to grip it to remove it.
