In the interests of user-safety (Required by safety regula-
tions in some countries) the set should be restored to its
original condition and only parts identical to those specified
be used.

When servicing the unit with power on, be careful to the section marked white all over.
This is the primary power circuit which is live.
When checking the soldering side in the tape travel mode, make sure first that the tape has been loaded and then turn
over the PWB with due care to the primary power circuit.
Make readjustment, if needed after replacement of part, with the mechanism and its PWB in position in the main frame.

Insert the sensor’s projection deep into the upper hole of the holder. Referring to the PWB, fix the sensors tight
enough.

Refer to the symbol on the PWB and the anode marking of the part.

Adjust the notch of the part to the white marker of the symbol on the PWB. Do not allow any looseness.

Be careful not to confuse the setting direction of the parts in reference to the symbols on the PWB. Do not allow any
looseness.
