Front Cover Assembly - Star Micronics LS-5 SERIES Technical Manual

REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENTS OF PARTS
Caution when disassembling:
Because the lower chute assembly [1] and the two gear front
covers [16] are also removed at the same time, be careful not
to damage or misplace any of the parts.
Slide the left and right pivot shafts [14] [15]little by little,
removing first the lower chute assembly [1], next the gear
front covers [16], and finally the front cover assembly [13],
to make the operation as easy as possible.

3-6. Front Cover Assembly

(1) Remove the following units:
• Electrical box cover (according to the procedure
described in section 5-7)
• Three connectors (P/J16, P/J17) of the MCU PCB
(according to the procedure described in section
5-9)
• Three connectors (P/J TR, P/J RTN, P/J PTN) of
the HVPS (according to the procedure described
in section 5-10)
• Screw securing the wire assembly front and the
ground wire to the LVPS assembly
• Gear double L (according to the procedure
described in section 3-2)
• Gear double R (according to the procedure
described in section 3-3)
Lower the lower chute assembly [1] towards the back
(2)
of the unit, and, pressing the bottom plate assembly
[2] against the cam [4] of the pick up roll assembly
[3], rotate the pick up roll assembly [3] until the
bottom plate assembly [2] is at the position closest to
the front of the unit.
Remove the spring [6] from the screw [5]. The spring
(3)
[6] is hooked onto the screw [5] that projects from
bottom plate assembly [2].
(4) Remove the following units:
• Two stop rings [7] [8]
• Link assembly [9] (according to the procedure
described in section 3-1)
• Two screws [10]
• Earth plate assembly [11]
• Cable cap [12]
• Front cover assembly [13]
Slide the left pivot shaft [14] to the left and pull it
off, and the right pivot shaft [15] to the right and
pull it off. Then remove the front cover assembly
[13].
Caution when assembling:
Make sure the harness is wired to the inner side of the earth
plate assembly [11], so that it doesn't interfere with the
movement of the link assembly [9].
When attaching the stop rings to the pivot shaft, attach the
left stop ring [7] to the groove in the leftmost end (inner
side) of the left pivot shaft [14], and the right stop ring [8]
to the groove in the leftmost end (outer side) of the right
pivot shaft [15].
