blocks and make sure they are tight against
the drive T by moving the carriage assem-
bly back and forth (Figure 4-5, B).
CAUTION
Failure to keep the drive
blocks tight against the
drive T can lead to
cascading problems.
Any “play” between the drive blocks and
the drive T must be eliminated before
going on to the next step. Refer to the
