Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about removing the motor from the VMAX VX2 PRO.
What do I need the thread on the motor cable for?
The thread serves as an aid to pull the motor cable back through the cable channel more easily during reinstallation. Without this aid, threading can be significantly more tedious.
Do I need to disconnect all four cables completely?
Yes, to fully remove the motor, the cables leading to the motor need to be disconnected. Be sure to carefully disconnect the connections and reconnect them correctly later.
Can I just change the cover on the motor?
Yes, according to the original instructions, you can either replace the entire motor or just the cover mounted on the motor. Removing the motor is the foundation for this.
