1-5-3 Lubrication of Tape Mechanism
The tape transport mechanism is properly lubricated
at the factory. In normal use cycles, and with average
environmental conditions, additional lubrication
should not be required during the first year of
operation.
Depending on the frequency of use and environmen-
tal conditions, periodic lubrication may be required.
When lubricating, first remove the old lubricant, then
sparingly apply new lubricant. Excessive lubricant is
transferred to other assemblies, malfunction will
result.
Use grease on the following parts every 1,000 hours.
(See exploded view for location) :
1. Between base pole assembly (L, R) and main base
2. Gear Loading L, R
3. Slide Main
4. Lever Shift
5. Gear Master
6. Lever Slide Pinch
7. Pinch Roller
8. Slide Pinch
9. Base Cylinder
Oil may be required for the following parts after
1,000 hours. (See exploded view for location) :
Main Base
1. Arm Tension molding
2. Shaft Reel Disk L, R
3. Shaft Gear Relay S, T
4. Shaft Idler
