2.Install Item 10 Felt Friction Washer onto the Ribbon Shaft and slide it against Item 11 Plate. The jagged teeth on Item 11 Plate will "dig into" the felt washers.

3.Slide (2) Item 7 Collars onto the Ribbon Shaft and against Item 9a or 9b Wind or Unwind Disc Plates.

NOTE: The collars may still be inside the ribbon boss. List 6-A and Fig. 6-43

4.Slide Item 8 Ribbon Bosses onto the Ribbon Shaft. Align the pegs on Item 8 with the location holes on the Item 9a/9b disc plates. Slide the 3rd Item 7 Collar onto the shaft and into Item 8 Ribbon Boss. List 6-A, Fig. 6-43 and Fig. 6-47

5.Install Item 6 Oil-less Dry Metal Washer onto the ribbon shaft with the frictionless coated side facing outward away from Item 8. Align the hole on Item 6 Washer with the peg on Item 8 Ribbon Boss. List 6-A, Fig. 6-43 and Fig. 6-48

6.Install Item 5 Disc onto the ribbon shaft with the smooth side facing Item 6 Washer, (one side of the disc is smooth and the other side has rough edges). List 6-A and Fig. 6-42

8.Screw Item 2 Adjustment Nut clockwise into the end of the ribbon shaft until it just touches the stopper collar. Fig. 6-41 & 6-42

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the adjustment nut since this screw is used to adjust the clutch tension. Adjust the clutch tension as outlined in Section 5-2

9.Install Locking screw. Hold Adjust nut with 12mm wrench while tightening screw to avoid changing clutch adjustment.
