I just thought I would share repair experience. We broke off the small black piece on the back of the Cimex that feeds the chemical under the yellow housing. I called Rick and he informed me that it would be rather difficult to repair because of the special tools needed. Well we limped along for a while with a temporary solution and finally got frustrated enough that we called Rick back and told him to send us the part. We got it in and within a half an hour we had it fixed. I am sure that I am not the only one this has happened to so I wanted to let everyone know how to do it. Take off the pad drivers, then unscrew the white piece of plastic on the bottom of the blue wheel drive wheel, then take off the belt. Easy so far, right. Now take off the bolt in the center of the blue deck. Then right above where the bolt was is a ring that you spread apart and pull it off, then the blue deck comes off. At this time replace the black piece that carries the chemical and put it back together in reverse. Hope this helps. Any questions let me know and I will walk you through it in more detail. I am not very mechanical but I figured it out.

Ahhhh yes.

Fixing the Cimex!

I know a guy who was dumb enough not to take one all the way down to the last electrical connector, but TWO all the way down to that level.

In the process, he broke a motor and bent a drive wheel.

That idiot was me!

The good news is, I can take one apart and put it back together in my sleep now, and can even swap out the black plastic hose elbow without removing anything besides the elbow.

But you're right, it is hard to reach.

Kevin that post deserves to go in the Cimex message board "Hall of Fame". Great info. Thanks for posting it!

Scott, do you mean that you can replace the piece Kevin is talking about, without having to take all that stuff he mentioned apart??

thanx --- Derek.
