Yes absolutely remove the Acorn 130 T700 Acorn motor assembly from the rail.. I install used units and have them on a rack off the rail. The one that you might want to leave on a section of rail is the Curved 180 model. If your handy, just follow the instructions and take your time.
while the motor is off the rail, Gently lay the unit on the foot rest (on a blanket or towel) and clean the outside of the 8 rollers with spray 9 and lightly lubricate the inner sleeve part of the roller with a spray lubricate- Also take this opportunity to clean the big gear of debris and dust – Don’t lubricate the main gear it will just pick up dust. – I have found that a light spray of lubricant on the seat post top makes the seat swivel easier.
