Maintenance unit
Assembling Note: When mounting the earth spring, take care not to contaminate it with
grease.
First hook the upper end on the CR guide rail and insert the lower end under the ASF
motor. The earth spring twines around the ASF motor by itself with the spring force. After
mounting it, check that the earth spring is in contact with the metal part of the ASF motor.
