1. Connect the ribbon cable
ends to the new carriage
and secure with tyraps.

is plugged into all the pins

washers are loose so that
the upper wheels are not

traverse rails and behind
the carriage base. Hold the

v-wheels on the traverse,
gently push the carriage
down and rotate the bottom
of the carriage towards the
