Reassembling the Cassette Cover Parts

(1)

Install the spring in the cover lock spring assembling portion of the cover lock actuator, then
insert the actuator into the cassette cover until it is caught by the guide lock. After inserting,
verify the smooth motion of the cover lock actuator by pushing the top end of the actuator.

Fig. 3.1-60 Reassembling the Cover Lock Actuator

(2)

Put the cassette pressure springs on the bosses on the bottom of the cassette pressure,
screwing clockwise adding the pressure on it.
