GENERAL PRECAUTIONS ON DISASSEMBLY

3. DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY

3.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS ON DISASSEMBLY
Extreme caution should be used when disassembling and reassembling
components. As the cables in this machine are located very close to moving parts,
proper routing a must.
After components have been removed, any cables that have been displaced during
the procedure must be restored as close as possible to their original positions.
Before removing any component from the machine, note any cable routings that
may be affected.
This section describes procedures on how to disassemble/re-assemble parts for
this machine. However, some components are not available as service parts. In
this case, it is recommended that you replace the entire unit.
Before servicing the machine:
1. Verify that documents are not stored in memory.
2. Remove the toner cartridge before you disassemble parts.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. Work on flat and clean surface.
5. Replace with authorized components only.
6. Do not force plastic material components.
7. Make sure all components are returned their original position.

3.1.1 RELEASING PLASTIC LATCHES

Many of the parts are held in place with plastic latches. The latches break easily;
release them carefully.
To remove such parts, press the hook end of the latch away from the part to which
it is latched.
