4. Remove the impression-control shaft by lifting it
up out of its fulcrum slots.
5. D:Sconnect the operating link and the cam re-
lease link.
6. Move the operational cam fulcrum rod enough
to free the cam. The left fulcrum rod is held in place
by a C clip between the cam bearing sUl}j)ort and
the left side frame.
Adjustments
1. CAM CLEARANCE. Adjust cam to power roll
clearance at .010" to .015" using the adjustable-stop
screw (Figure 9). Check by releasing the cam with
the power OFF.
The release-lever lug should rest
on the rear half of the cam lug.
2. CAM-RELEASE LINK. Adjust so the cam trips
when the keylever has been depressed 'is" from its
rest position.
3. SPRING-RETURN SUPPORT. Adjust by form-
ing, so the spring will just restore the spacebar to its
rest position.
4. REPEAT STOP. Adjust by vertically position-
ing the mounting screws, so the travel of the space-
bar between the non-repeat tripping point and the
contact of the repeat slide is .015" to .025" (Figure 10).
s.
OPERATING LINK. Adjust to trip the escape-
ment pawl just before the high point of the cam is
reached. With the cam on its high point there should
be no choking off.
MARGIN RESET
The margin-reset keylever is mounted to the right
side-frame and fulcrums on a mounting stud (Figure
11). A keylever spring between the keylever and the
side frame holds the keylever in its rest position.
Depressing the key-button raises the push rod and
causes the margin-reset lever to rotate about its
mounting in the margin-reset bracket. The margin-
reset lever passes in front of the margin nick and
contains a pin that rides above the rack.
In the
operated position the margin-reset-Iever pin engages
the "V" shaped notch in the margin stop and de-
presses the spring-loaded slider.
The pin on the
slider disengages from the margin-rack teeth and al-
lows repositioning of the stop. The carriage may be
moved, when the keylever is depressed without part
damage.
