weight of the frame.
2. Slide the bottom of the frame so that the frame is
clear of the printer casting.

Replace the remaining parts in reverse order.
Position Translator Frame (Figure 2)
Check that the six guide rollers rest against their respective
guiding surfaces. Adjust for 0.002" minimum clearance be-
tween the printer casting and both:
1. Upper front guide blocks.
2. Lower rear guide studs.
3. Lower front guide studs.
Check for freedom of movement of the translator frame
along the printer casting.
Remove Movable Base (Figure 5)
Prepare to remove movable base.
1. Remove the ribbon.
2. Remove the type array ( cartridge assembly) .
3. Remove the cover over the terminal block on the rear
of the T-casting.
4. Snap out the plastic oil reservoir under the T-casting.
5. Remove the upper shield over the print control dial.
6. Remove the screws in the front shield of the print
control dial.

the cables if necessary) to allow the movable base to be
lifted clear of the T-casting.
Remove the movable base.
1. Carefully lift the base up off the eccentric bearing
blocks.
2. Carefully raise the base so that the print control dial
assembly clears the T-casting lock lever so that read head
cable is not damaged.

Remove Movable Base Eccentric Shaft (Figure
5)
Prepare for removal.
1. First, remove the movable base.

drive-out pin (the small end is up) in the forms thickness
control lever.
2. Remove the forms thickness control lever from the
shaft.
3. Remove the friction clamp from the right end of the
shaft.
NOTE:
The friction clamp provides the necessary
friction to hold the thickness control lever in position
(A to E) without binding. The shaft must move in the fric-
tion clamp for operator setting of the thickness control
lever.
4. Loosen the screws in the collar that holds the right
eccentric bearing block, and slide the collar to the right.

shaft through the right eccentric bearing block.
CAUTION:
The right eccentric holds the oil line and the wick that
oils the type array.
Replace the movable base eccentric shaft in reverse order
and adjust the movable base during assembly.
Adjust Movable Base (Figure 5)
Remove the ribbon and type array.
Check the adjustment of movable base.
1. The two eccentric shaft support bearings are seated
against the front shoulders of the recess in the T-casting.
2. A wink of 0.002" exists between the motor drive gear
and the type idler gear
at the point of tightest engagement.
3. The movable base sets on the T-casting with a maxi-
mum vertical clearance of 0.001".
4. The movable base slides freely in the horizontal plane.
If the conditions just stated are met, no further adjust-
ment is necessary. Replace the remaining parts in reverse
order.
Further prepare to adjust the movable base.
1. Remove the cover over the terminal block on the rear
of the T-casting.
2. Snap out the plastic oil reservoir under the T-casting.

plate to the T-casting ( screws under T-casting) .
2. Loosen the screws in the lower ribbon guide bar (two
ears hold the movable base against the T-casting) .
3. Press down hard on the movable base.
4. Press the ears of the lower ribbon guide bar against
movable base.
5. Tighten the screws in the lower ribbon guide bar
while maintaining pressure as stated in steps 3 and 4.
Adjust the clearance of the motor drive gear to the type
idler gear. ( Type array was previously removed.)
1. Loosen the adjusting block screw. (The block is under
the movable base, and fits over the stud in the T-casting.
It positions the movable base right to left.)
2. Turn the idler gear to obtain the tightest mesh with
the motor drive gear.
3. Slide the movable base left to right to obtain a wink
between the idler gear and the motor drive gear of 0.002"
at the point of tightest engagement.
4. Tighten the adjusting block screw and recheck clear-
ance. Wink must be present with no stress on motor shaft.
Replace the remaining parts in reverse order.
