6.8.2 PRESS ROLLER LOCK LEVER ADJUSTMENT
PURPOSE: To maintain the correct clearance between the press roller arms and
press roller lock levers. This ensures that the press roller is correctly
released and pressed against the drum when the press roller release
solenoid is energized.
ADJUSTMENT STANDARD:
0.7 to 1.2 mm
1. Turn off the main switch and disconnect the power plug.
2. Remove the drum unit and remove the front cover (4 screws).
NOTE: The front cover must be removed prior to the adjustment.
3. Reinstall the drum.
4. Remove the rear cover (6 screws). (See 6.1.5 Other Covers.)
5. Turn the drum manually until the drum master clamper on the drum moves into
the lowest position. (The high points of the cams on the drum flanges meet with
the cam followers on both ends of the press roller.)
NOTE: To identify the correct position of the drum for the adjustment, look at
the rear end of the drum shaft. The recess on the drum drive gear
meets the long hole [A] in the bracket when the drum is in the correct
position.
