After isolating the machine from the power supply:
1. Ease machine forward for all round access.
2. Remove service panel
3. Remove two screws in the cabinet wrapper exposed by the Service Panel. Pull cabinet sides out slightly to gain access.
4. Remove the springs from the quadrants and the chassis base using pliers.
