    NOTE:
    • The motor rotor contains very strong magnets and should be handled with special care.
    • Extra special care must be taken on the installation of the drive plate, it may suddenly be pulled toward the motor with great force causing serious hand or finger injury, or damaged components.
    • Keep pieces of metal and all foreign particles out of the motor rotor during the transmission removal.
