Feed Wheels (P/No. 330-301)
The friction feed bins are fitted with three feed wheels (B)
mounted on a shaft. They should be cleaned if dirty and
replaced when worn. The replacement interval will de-
pend upon the usage level and the type of papers used.
• Remove the feed wheel shaft by pushing it to the left
against the spring pressure and lifting the right end
clear. Clean the wheels using only soap and water or
alcohol (isopropanol).
• If the wheels need to be replaced, grasp the shaft firmly
and slide off each wheel (this will be eased by wetting
the shaft slightly).
• Ensure the shaft is clean, and slide on each new wheel,
ensuring that the wheels align with the correct marks
on the shaft. The standard position for the wheels is
shown below.
