(5) Take the paper feed motor harness and PF encoder/registration sensor harness out of the
harness guides provided on the lower cover.
(6) Lift the engine unit up and out of the lower cover in the direction of the arrow shown below,
holding the inner chute located beneath the CR guide rail.
NOTE: Do not hold the CR guide rail.
NOTE: Take care not to touch the PF encoder disk.
NOTE: If the ink absorber box does not need to be replaced, be sure to take it out of the lower
cover together with the engine unit. Do not disconnect the two tubes (main drain tube and
opening tube to the atmospheric air) from the ink absorber box. Once disconnected, those tubes
will become unusable and new parts will have to be put back in.
NOTE: Do not place the engine unit directly on a flat surface; doing so may break the PF
encoder disk and gears. Be sure to place a support pad under the engine unit as shown below.
(7) Take the flushing box out of the lower cover.
