1.4.12.1 Idler Roller Removal and Cleaning

This procedure refers to the idler rollers [3] shown in the previous Illustration that

are easily removed as assemblies. The idler rollers that are not easily removed

should be cleaned while in the punch. See “Non-Removable Idler Roller Cleaning”

on page 1-22.

Note: This procedure does not apply to the Aligner panel idler rollers. See

“Aligner Panel Inspection and Cleaning” on page 1-15.

1. Separate the punch from the printer.

2. Disconnect the power.

3. Lift the retaining spring over the end of the idler roller shaft. The illustration

shows moving the spring [1] on the bypass plate, which has been removed

from the machine for clarity.

4. Pull the released shaft end out of the bushing fork [2], releasing the opposite

end of the shaft from the other retaining spring.

5. Clean the idler rollers with a soft cloth and alcohol.

6. Ensure the rollers turn freely on the shaft & the idler roller shaft "floats" freely

in the bushing forks.

7. To install idler roller assemblies reverse the steps.

Installation Note:

• Make sure the flat surface of the bushing aligns in the fork.

• Rollers are non-directional so it does not matter which end goes in each fork.

• After the assembly is in place, gently pull the assembly outward and release

to ensure it moves freely in the fork.
