CHAPTER 2 STANDARDS AND ADJUSTMENTS
d. Checking the Force of the Cassette Spring
If the force of the spring used to hold up the holding plate of the cassette is not correct, pickup
faults or the like can occur.
If a fault is suspected, check the force of the spring using a spring gauge (CK-0054), and
replace the spring if it is not as indicated:
Standard: 970 ±150 g
Making Measurements
Push the spring gauge against the middle of the spring as shown, and check to make sure that
the reading of the spring gauge is 970 ±150 g when the holding plate is 18 mm away from the
bottom of the cassette.
