6. Prior to installation of new drive cables, carefully inspect the new pair of cables for
damage to either the cable jacket or attached hardware. If any detectable defect is
found in the replacement cable jackets, discard the damaged cable and procure an
undamaged replacement.
CAUTION
When handling the drive cables around the printer mechanism, exercise extreme
caution to avoid sharp edges of the printer frame.
7. Take the left-hand drive cable (117) (the longer of the two cables), and the outside
nut (74) on the cable stud. Insert the stud through the carriage bracket and install
the inner nut (74). Tighten these nuts securely such that the threaded portion of the
cable stud is approximately centered in the carriage bracket.
8. Thread the beaded end of the left-hand cable (117) through the left end (144)
around the spring-loaded idler pulley (156) and back through the endplate (144).
The cable should run freely around the pulley with no contact with either the
endplate or idler arm.
9. Pull the beaded end of the cable (117) over to the drive spool and start it as shown
in Figure 4.6. The bead should bottom out in the slot and the cable should lead
directly out into a groove coincident with the end of the cat bead slot.
