NOTE: The shaft in the spindle must be held stationary as the adjustment nut is
adjusted. To hold the spindle, refer to Figure 4-30 and insert an Allen
wrench through the access hole on the inner end of the spindle and into
the set screw in the shaft collar. DO NOT TURN THE ALLEN WRENCH.
Hold the shaft in place while turning the adjustment nut.
2. Turn the adjustment nut clockwise to increase the tension or counterclockwise to
decrease the tension. Tighten the set screws.
3. Measure the spindle tension again. Compare the tension reading on the spring scale
with the appropriate force value provided in Figure 4-29. Repeat the adjustment
procedure until the correct tension is obtained.

Felt washers at the ends of the spindles need to be replaced whenever they have dried out or
deteriorated. When the felt washers require replacement, proper spindle tension may not be
able to be achieved. Perform the following procedure to disassemble the spindles and replace
the felt washers.
Preparing Replacement Felt Washers
1. Soak the replacement felt washers in silicone oil for approximately an hour.
2. Allow excess oil to drain from the felt washers.
NOTE: If excess oil is not removed from the felt washers, the oil will disperse and
deposit inside the printer.
3. Use paper towels or other absorbent material and squeeze out any additional oil. When
the felt washers have all excess oil removed, they are ready to be placed on the
spindles.
