6-2.  Precautions 
(1) 
When  replacing  any  part,  always  replace  the  cut  washer  that  was 
removed  with  a  new  one. 
(2)This  mechanism  does  not  have  control  adjustment.  If the  control  cannot 
be  set  as  required,  clean  and  or  replace  parts. 
(3) On  the  oil 
a)  Always  use  the  specified  oil.  (Using  another  kind  of  oil  can  cause 
various  kinds  of trouble.) 
b)  Always  use  clean  oil,  without  any  mixed-in  dirt,  to  lubricate  bearings. 
(Using  oil  with  dirt  mixed  in can  cause  the  bearings  to wear  or to  stick.) 
c)  One  drop  of oil  is the  amount  shown  in the  Fig.  1, on the  point  of a  pin. 
(4) Perform  circuit  repair,  tape  running  adjustment,  etc.  with  the  cassette 
controller  assembly  attached  to  the  mechanism. 
(5) To  operate  the  mechanical  section  alone,  remove  the  FPC of loading  motor 
from  the  connector  (section  B in the  Fig. Z), and  apply  voltage  to  the  loading 
motor  to  drive  it. The  voltage  between  terminals  must  be  DC3V  or  less. 
(Forcing  the  gears  to  turn  by  hand  entails  danger  of breakage.) 
(6) To  install  the  cassette  controller,  push  section  A in the  Fig. 2. Do not  push 
anything  else. 
(7)  Do  not  deform  any  of the  mechanical  parts.
