Description
These are two methods of mounting the drum
unit in the frame: one for the flexibly-mounted
type, the other for R-model.
• In the flexibly-mounted models (C240 and
C260) the drum unit is suspended from
rubber straps: 8 or 10 according to type.
In these models the mounting cannot
be adjusted, instead the rubber replacement
is needed, then all the straps must be
replaced where necessary. If replacement is
needed, then all the straps should be
replaced with new ones at the same time, to
avoid having to replace others only a short
time later because of uneven strap elestictity.
• In R-models (C240R, C260R and C290R) the
drum unit is relatively rigidly mounted in the
frame with the aid of two rubber bushing.
Instructions for repair
Flexibly-mounted models (C240 and
C260)
Check the rubber straps on which the motor is
mounted, and replace where necessary.
Procedure:
• Remove the two service covers.
• Lift the motor, holding it under the
counterweight, until the drum reaches the
inside of the top deck.
• Prop it from beneath to keep it in raised
position.
• Replaced the rubber straps, one at a time,
through the service openings.
• Lower the motor. Check that all rubber
straps are positioned correctly.
