SKIRT CLEARANCE

 

What is skirt clearance:

 

Skirt clearance is the distance between a tooth on the element and the rotate detent, when element is held in a tilt two position (133).

 

When skirt clearance is adjusted, it affects the adjustment clearance of .001" between detent lever (71-40) and detent actuating lever (71-39).

 

Therefore, the two adjustments should be performed alternately until both are correct.

 

Skirt clearance adjustment:

 

1. Loosen ribbon feed and detent cam (106-18) and adjust laterally until there is  .025" clearance between rotate detent and a tooth on the element, when element is held in a tilt two position (133).

 

Detent clearance adjustment:

 

1. Loosen locking nut (133-34); adjust screw (133-35) up or down for .001" clearance between detent lever (71-40) and detent actuating lever (71-39).
