Short Adapter or Blank Filler Removal
To remove a short adapter or blank filler, do the following:
1. Slide the long and short adapter arms away from the adapter or blank filler by doing the following:
a. Each adapter arm has a release tab that allows the arm to be moved away from the adapter or
blank filler in the cassette assembly. Use your fingernail to lift the tab, to allow each arm to be
moved away from the adapter or blank filler. Lift the release tab on the short adapter arm, and
push on the slotted tab to release the end of the blank filler.
Note: If you plan to install a short adapter, leave the long adapter arm on the cassette linkage
assembly. If you plan to install a long adapter, remove both the long and short adapter arms
from the cassette linkage assembly in the next step.
b. Slide the long and short adapter arms away from the blank filler or adapter.
