18. Return the gas spring into position. Insert
shoulder bolt through clevis end on spring, and
slide the four nylon washers over the shoulder
bolt. Tighten into plate.
19. Reinstall the cradle latch lever. Be sure to
replace the nylon washer between the bushing
and the latch. When tightening the latch into
position, make sure the shaft is completely
moved over to the right. Hold the opposite end
of the shaft tight to the left plate.
20. Check the position of the sensor flag manually.
Turn the transfer shaft pulley back and forth to
ensure the flag will not hit the front or rear plate
support. If severe interference is indicated,
adjust the sensor flag by turning the pulley
counterclockwise to position the printhead at its
highest position (Fig. 3-251). The sensor flag
should be parallel to the pinch roller brackets in
this position (Fig. 3-252).
21. Replace the outside cradle cover.
