6. Replace the transfer corona wire [A] and the separation corona wire [B].
NOTE: a) When installing the separation corona wire, make sure that the
wire junction [C] is positioned inside the rear endblock.
b) The transfer and separation corona wires must be in the
grooves of the front and rear endblock as shown.
c) Do not handle new corona wires with bare hands. Oil on the wire
may cause an uneven charge condition.
d) Rubbing the corona wires with a rough material (sandpaper,
etc.) will damage the corona wires.
e) When removing the endblock covers, be careful not to break off
the side hooks.
f) Do not use any solvents to clean the wires as this will cause
uneven charge on the drum.
g) Do not loosen the screws [D] of the transfer entrance guide [E].
The transfer entrance guide is positioned with a special tool
at the factory.
