LU B RI CATI ON
All rotating parts are provided withoilite bear-
ings and are lubricated before leaving the factory.
Under normal use, nolubricationis requiredfor along
period of time. When lubrication is necessary, use a
good grade of oil sparingly.
When lubricating the flywheel bearing, remove
the capstan (ll5) and inject 4 or 5 drops of oil.
ADJUSTMENTS
ldler Wheel
Toadjust the idler wheel pressure, setthe speed
selector to 3 3/4 ips. Hook a spring scale to the end
of the idler lever (89) and pull until the idler is liJted
away f rom the motor pulley. The spring(61) should be
adjusted so that there is between 9 and 12 ounces of
pufl.
The idler wheel height is adjusted by moving the
motor pulley up or down as required. In the 3 3/ 4 ips
position the distance between the lower surface of the
idler wheel and the step of the motor pulley should be
3/ 32". In the ? L/ 2 ips position the distance between
the upper sur{ace of the idler wheel (85) and the step
of the motor pulley (139) must be around L/ 32".
Tape Speed and Pinch Roller
(a) Tape Speed - Set the Speed Lever to 7 L/ 2
ips, and theSelector control tothe Forward
position. Adjust the hex nut (129) clockwise
to increase speed, and counterclockwise to
decrease speed.
After adjustment is made, check the L 7/ I
and 3 3/ 4 ips speeds.
(b) PinchRoller - Tocheck the pressureof the
Pinch Roller (ll4), set the controls as de-
scribed under 'nlape Speed".
Measure the tension of the pinch roller by
hanging the hook of a spring scale to the
pinch roller sha.ft, pull on the scales until s
