verse
Important: Please read the next steps fully before
attempting to attach the carriage.
a) Wipe the traverse rails with an isopropyl alcohol
dampened cloth to remove dust. Perform this
important maintenance step often, even every
week depending on machine use.
b) While holding the carriage and ribbon cable
bundle, insert the end of the bundle through
the hole in the endplate at the right end of
the traverse. Continue feeding about 20" of the
bundle through the hole.

c) Move to the center of the machine and hold the new
carriage up near the traverse with the blue lever(s)
facing up and away from the machine.

Attention! Do not hold the carriage by the cartridge stalls
or the silver sensor assembly.
d) Feed the new ribbon cable bundle into the channel
in the traverse so that there is a loop to the left of
the carriage. Lightly press the loop into the groove
at the back of the traverse so that it is in the cable
channel.

e)
Ensure that the black drive belt is between the tra-
verse rails and behind the carriage base. Hold the car-
riage at the right and left side of the metal base with
both hands and slip the top two carriage v-wheels
over the top rail of the traverse.
f)
Keeping the top two carriage v-wheels on the tra-
verse, gently push the carriage down and rotate
the bottom of the carriage towards the back of the
machine until the lower v-wheels slip onto the lower
traverse rail.
g)
Gently move the carriage right then left to ensure that
the wheels move smoothly.
