(3) Removing the brake lever, selection/feed unit, gear wheel and pickup roller.
a) Remove the spring attached to the left side of the cut sheet feeder.
b) Removal of brake lever attached to the right side.
Remove the spring located between the right and left brake levers. The levers are held on a ribbed peg
with a head wider than the circumference of the hole in the brake lever.
Use a pair of pliers to pinch the peg inward so that the levers can be slipped over it.
c) Removal of selection and feed units 1 and 2.
There are two bin selectors, the red unit operates bin 1, the blue unit operates bin 2. Each unit
can be removed by taking out one E-ring and pulling outward from the pickup roller shaft. Remove the
flat washer located between the unit and frame.
