Introduction

The left panel is structurally significant to the ventilator but is not fixed to any other components. Therefore it is necessary to remove the left panel for a vast majority of service to be done on internal components of the ventilator. You will need a Phillips screwdriver to complete this guide. This part is strictly structural, however it needs to be removed to access many of the parts inside.
