the masking tape and carefully unwind the
un-cemented portion of the material.
23. Using the same technique, apply the ce-
ment and carefully rewind the material
onto the roll.

NOTE: If any cement gets onto
the friction material surface, use a
piece of masking tape to lift if o.

en; then, trim the ends of the friction mate-
rial so it is even with the edges of the roll.
26. Carefully remove the masking tape.

the drive roll with several wraps of glass
lament tape. Tape from the top while
turning the roll in its normal rotational
