Repair

For any Repairs

To attempt any repairs, the foot channels should be loosened (Fig 12). This
allows the chassis to “relax.” If the foot channels are not loosened, taking apart
the machine will be difficult and may not reassemble correctly.

For any Repairs involving

luminum Sheet Metal

A

When attempting any repairs involving steel sheet metal pieces, do not over
tighten the screws. The screws are to keep the part in place not to provide
structural support. The screws should be snug, not tight.
