Squeegee roller shaft: Reverse rotation stoppers (A and B), O rings, metal bearings and
Squeegee adj. plates (front and back).
- Precautions in Assembly -
• Be careful not to attach the Squeegee adj. plates (front and back) and Reverse rotation stoppers
(A and B) to a wrong end of the Squeegee roller shaft because the length of the shaft is different
at both ends.
- The bent part of the Squeegee adj. plate should face outward.
- The Reverse rotation stopper A (thicker one) should be put on the shorter shaft.
• Make sure to insert an O ring between a metal bearing and the Reverse rotation stopper.
• Confirm that the Reverse rotation stopper A rotates on the shaft in the arrow-indicating direction as
shown in the figure below before securing it with the adjustment screw because the Reverse
rotation stopper A has an one-way clutch built-in.
• Make sure to put washers and a spring on the adjustment screw as indicated in the figure below.
• Make sure to put a plain washer on the shaft before the Squeegee roller pulley.
• Confirm that the Squeegee roller pulley rotates on the shaft in the same direction as does the
Reverse rotation stopper A before putting an E ring on the shaft because the Squeegee roller
pulley has an one-way clutch built-in. (The collar of the pulley should face inside.)
• Always adjust the Squeegee gap after assembly. (Refer to the page IV-21.)
