2 MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS AND CHECKS
2-1 CAPSTAN THRUST CLEARANCE
1. There must be a clearance of 0.1 to 0.3 mm between the capstan
shaft and the thrust plate. Check to see that the clearance is
within this range. If not, loosen the two screws on the flywheel,
adjust the clearance, and retighten the screws.

2-2 SHUT-OFF SWITCH POSITION
1. There must be a clearance of 1 to 1.5 mm between the cam and
actuator(A) when the microswitch is off, and 0.5 mm between
the micro switch and actuator(B) when the microswitch is on.
Check to see that the clearance is within these values. If not,
adjust as necessary.

2-3. BRAKE MECHANISM
NOTE: Be sure that the power is turned off prior to making any ad-
justments to the brakes.
1. Screw(A) for the left brake (as viewed from the front) must be
adjusted so that there is a clearance of 1 mm between lever(C)
and lever(E). Screw(A) for the right brake must then be adjusted
so that lever(B) is parallel to lever(C).
2. Push the plunger until there is contact at (a); i.e., until the clear-
ance has been eliminated, but make sure that the plunger is not
pushed so strongly that the levers (E), (C), and (B) are deflected
— they must remain in a horizontal plane.
3. Position the solenoid housing, while the plunger is pushed as des-
cribed in step #2 above, so that the gap at (f) (the distance be-
tween the leftmost edge of the plunger and the leftmost edge of
the solenoid housing) is between 11 to 12 mm. When the solenoid
housing is so positioned, the plunger should be able to be de-
flected between 1 to 2 mm when pushed strongly.
