Replacing the Ribbon Drive Clutch Washers
STEP PROCEDURE
1. For each spindle, position and fasten Item 11 Plate, with teeth facing
outward with (2) screws. Except for Item 9, all items are the same for
the ribbon unwind and ribbon rewind assemblies, List 6-A and Figs.
6-41 through 6-44.
2. Install Item 10 Felt Friction Washer onto the Ribbon Shaft and slide it
against Item 11 Plate. The jagged teeth on Item 11 Plate will "dig into"
the felt washers. Slide (1) Item 9a or 9b Wind or Unwind Disc Plates
onto each Ribbon Shaft. The teeth/slots on the unwind disc plate must
be face towards felt washer. Fig. 6-45 & 6-46
3. Slide (2) Item 7 Collars onto the Ribbon Shaft and against Item 9a or
9b Wind or Unwind Disc Plates.
NOTE: The collars may still be inside the ribbon boss.
List 6-A and Fig. 6-43
4. Slide Item 8 Ribbon Bosses onto the Ribbon Shaft. Align the pegs on
Item 8 with the location holes on the Item 9a/9b disc plates. Slide the
3rd Item 7 Collar onto the shaft and into Item 8 Ribbon Boss. List 6-A,
Fig. 6-43 and Fig. 6-47
5. Install Item 6 Oil-less Dry Metal Washer onto the ribbon shaft with the
frictionless coated side facing outward away from Item 8. Align the
hole on Item 6 Washer with the peg on Item 8 Ribbon Boss. List 6-A,
Fig. 6-43 and Fig. 6-48
6. Install Item 5 Disc onto the ribbon shaft with the smooth side facing
Item 6 Washer, (one side of the disc is smooth and the other side has
rough edges). List 6-A and Fig. 6-42
7. Place Item 4 Spring next on the shaft, then Item 3 Stopper Collar.
List 6-A and Fig. 6-42
8. Screw Item 2 Adjustment Nut clockwise into the end of the ribbon shaft
until it just touches the stopper collar. Fig. 6-41 & 6-42
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the adjustment nut since this screw is used
to adjust the clutch tension. Adjust the clutch tension as outlined in
Section 5-2
9. Install Locking screw. Hold Adjust nut with 12mm wrench while
tightening screw to avoid changing clutch adjustment.
10. Reconnect the power cable.
