SECTION 3 MECHANISM DECK ASSEMBLY Note: Follow the assembly procedure in the numerical order given. OPTICAL PICK-UP COMPLETE ASSY 1 Move the lever (LOCK 3A) in the direction of arrow A , and return it a little in the direction of arrow B from the position where the chuck plate is moved chuck plate down to the lower limit.
Page 12
OPERATION CHECK 1 Confirm that the slider moves in the direction of arrow C to move down the chuck plate if the gear (LOAD CAM) is rotated in the direction of arrow A or the chuck plate moves up and the slider moves in the direction of arrow D if the gear is rotated in the direction of arrow B .
