[2] Reassembly of the Mechanical Unit

(1) Set the release rod roller by inserting it into the slit in the roller release rod.

(2) Set the release cam on the release lever guide shaft.

(3) While tilting the roller release rod, set it on the release cam shaft and the

projection on the release cam, and then on the release lever guide shaft.

(4) Set the retaining ring on the release lever guide shaft.

(5) After hooking the release lever spring on the hole at the bottom of the

roller release rod, pull the release lever spring to hook it on the hole in the
frame.

(6) Apply the specified grease (3 mm

) on each of the inside of the square

hole in the roller release rod and the release rod roller. (Specified grease:
Silicone grease G501)
