Half cycle an upper case "O" , If the rotate detent (37-4) enters the proper tooth; No adjustment necessary.

 

If the detent enters the wrong tooth on the element, do the following:

 

1. Half cycle a letter "O".

 

2. Loosen the set screw for the rotate shaft. (The set screw is under the carrier (43-30).

 

3. With your fingers, remove the detents and rotate the element so the "O" is facing the platen.

 

4. Release detent actuating lever (71-39) to reengage detent (37-4) with element.

 

5. Tighten the set screw (43-40) observing minimum end play of the rotate shaft. (42-27)

(Sometimes the rotate shaft is frozen and difficult to move when trying to reposition element to the proper tooth; If this happens, tap the bottom of the rotate shaft lightly with a screwdriver & hammer.)
