Probably written by Hayes. Removal is the opposite of installation.

Not sure what my model was but I think they are all similar, there are
mechanical stops that have to be removed at the top or the bottom,
depending on which is more convenient. You need to use the hand wind
once the electrics is disconnected, this is very slow indeed. It's not
too difficult to make up an adaptor to fit into a cordless drill.

IMHO they are designed to be difficult to DIY (e.g. for replacing
batteries).

The batteries are extremely easy to replace - a couple of fixings
retaining a plastic cover, then just disconnect and pull them out.

Wasn't at all obvious on my model. I only figured out how to do it when
I needed to take it off the rail, which involved a lot of grovelling
around on the floor, and even then it was not particularly easy.
