4.2.3 Bearings at ends of support shaft

The two bearings at the end of the support shaft are secured by fixing screws in placed after being positioned at the factory. Never disassemble these bearings (except for head gap adjustment). Red fixing screws are used to distinguish them form other screws.

The bearings need not be removed to remove the carriage.

4.2.5 Securing idler pulley assembly screw

If you have loosened the idler pulley assembly screw, as when removing the carriage, you must use the special tension spring (QY9-0046) when reassembling.

Before tightening the screw, move the carriage horizontally several times to equalize the belt tension. *

After tightening the screws, remember to remove the tension spring.
