1.
If the supply shaft is on the machine, grasp the
bearing end and lift it out of the cradle. Then pull the
left end out of the brake hub.
This applies to the top and bottom supply shafts.
2.
Slide the new roll on to the shaft and core adaptors,
referring to Fig. 6-3. to determine how the film
unwinds from the roll. Use the set screws in the core
adaptors to move the adaptors if needed. The grippers
on the core adaptors should be pointing in the
opposite direction that the film unwinds from the roll.
3.
Insert the hex end of the shaft into its brake hub and
then insert the bearing end in its cradle.
4.
Center each supply roll on the shafts by doing the
following. Also see the section,
Film Alignment
in
this section.
a.
Use a ruler to measure from the left edge of the
roll to the left side frame.
b.
Do the same on the right side.
c.
Shift the roll side to side so that both
measurements are equal. It is important that the
edges of the films are aligned so that adhesive
does not stick to the rollers.
5.
Center the take-up core on its shaft.
