11. Unwind Brake and Dancer Arm
The unwind brake and dancer arm are designed to have no adjustments.
If the brake band is being replaced, begin by unhooking the dancer spring from the spring
anchor stud. Remove the old brake band from the anchor pin and, using a 5mm hex wrench,
remove the retaining screw holding the brake band to the shaft collar. Install the new brake
band on the anchor pin and around the unwind shaft, taking care to face the smooth shiny side
of the band inwards against the collar and unwind shaft. Be sure the brake band is routed
according to the illustration below for the appropriate hand applicator. Next, rotate the dancer
shaft and collar until the brake band attachment hole lines up with the hole in the collar. Install
the retaining screw and secure the brake band.
LEFT HAND CONFIGURATION RIGHT HAND CONFIGURATION
Most of the illustrations in this manual depict a Right Hand applicator. When
viewing the operator interface such that the drive roller is directly below it, if the
peel tip is to the right or the drive roller it is a Right Hand applicator. If the peel
tip is to the left of the drive roller, it is a Left Hand applicator.
Finally, rotate the dancer away from the peel tip end of the applicator, stretch the dancer spring
and reattach it to the spring anchor stud. The loop end of the spring should rest in the groove
of the stud.
