Setting Up

Before you can use your typewriter, you must remove
the packing materials from the carrier mechanism.
This is essential to the proper functioning of your
typewriter. Do not turn the unit on until you have
released the carrier mechanism (10). Follow the steps
listed below using the typewriter diagram for
reference. The numbers on the diagram correspond to
those in the instructions.
1. Remove keyboard cover (2) from the typewriter.
The cover also functions as a paper support. (See
"Paper Support.")
2. Tilt the sound shield (3) toward you.
3. Remove the rubber band (left side first) from
the tabs.
4. Remove the carrier restraint card.
5. Remove the ribbon cassette. If the typewriter
ribbon is slack, advance it by turning the gear
wheel on the bottom of the cassette in the
direction indicated (see illustration).
6. Place the cassette back on the carrier, and return
the sound shield to its original position. You will
hear it snap into place.
