Shipping Instructions; Stabilizing The Carrier Mechanism - Smith Corona Spellmate 500 User Manual

Shipping Instructions

IMPORTANT: When the machine is to be shipped for any
reason, the carrier mechanism inside the typewriter must
be stabilized to prevent movement. The typewriter as a
whole must be properly protected from shipping and
handling hazards. Use original packing material to pack the
unit.

Stabilizing the Carrier Mechanism

1. Unplug the unit.
2 Tilt the sound shield toward you.
3. Select a rubber band to secure the print
mechanism.
4. Place the rubber band around the tab on the right
side of the carrier mechanism.
5. Stretch the rubber band over the top of the
mechanism and around the tab on the left side.
6. Move the carrier to the right end of the machine
until it locks into place. You will hear it click into
place.
7. Wrap the cord around the cord wrap panel
approximately three (3) times. Some excess cord
will remain loose.
8. Secure the plug in the protection slot, and snap the
cord into the cord restraint.
9. Tuck the excess cord up under the lip.
10. Return the sound shield to its original position
and tape shut.
11. Place the keyboard cover on the typewriter. Your
typewriter is ready for packing.
NOTE: If the carrier cannot be put into the correct
position, ball up single sheets of newspaper and insert
them on each side of the carrier until all open spaces are
filled to capacity.
