              Steps for Reassembaly
  • Follow the previous steps in reverse for reassembly.
  • The mouse wheel assembly has a small metal pin in the front. This pin has to fit inside the hole in the loos plastic part.
  • It is recommended to combine the assembly and the plastic part before reinserting them to their final spot. Furthermore, the battery box shoud be assembled thereafter to simplify the process.
  • Check the functionality of the mouse before reapplying the skate pads.
