KEYBUTTONS

When replacing a keybutton. use the following procedure: Disconnect the linecord; turn the switch to the ON position; and hand cycle the machine while holding the keylever down until the interposer is out from under the keylever pawl. This will allow the interposer to enter the selector compensator and prevent the keylever pawl and interposer from being bent or broken when pressure is applied to the keybutton. If more than one keybutton is replaced, the machine should be cycled each time to allow the next interposer to enter the compensator.

The end of the 6” (152.4 mm) screwdriver can be placed in the forming slot of each keylever to prevent the slot from closing up when placing pressure on the keybutton.
