4. Removal of Carriage
a. Turn over the drawer removed as described in
Procedures 2 and 3 on page 10 and place it with its
front facing toward you. (Photo 6)
b. Check that the bevel gear located on the left side of the
drawer is attached to the drawer. If not, attach it
properly. (Photo 6)
c. Apply your left thumb to the bevel gear and hold the
right side of the drawer with your right hand.
d. Turn the bevel gear toward you (counterclockwise).
Turning the gear causes the upper pinion to start
turning and the upper carriage to start moving in the
arrow direction. Then keep turning the bevel gear.

e. When the upper carriage has reached the rear, pull it up
to remove it. (The upper pinion makes 5 full turns
before reaching the rear end. The lower carriage drops
at the rear end. Leave it as it is in this stage.)
When removing the upper carriage, its left side should
be lifted. However, as the star gear which moves the
carriage up and down is in its way, pull the upper
carriage diagonally to the upper left while pulling the
drawer outward. (Photo 8)
f. To remove the remaining lower carriage, turn the bevel
gear toward you (counterclockwise) again. Then, the
lower pinion starts to turn first. Keep turning the bevel
gear and the lower pinion stops when it has made 5 full
turns. Continue turning the bevel gear and the upper
pinion starts to turn. The lower carriage remaining in the
drawer then starts to move rearward.
g. Keep turning the bevel gear until the lower carriage
moves to the rear end just like with the upper carriage.
Then remove the lower carriage in the same way as
before.
