4.
Replace the left and right platen bushing plates. The left
bushing requires two screws (Figure 25, #3) and needs
to be held tightly in place against the metal frame while
seating the small tab on the very end of the paper bail
onto the small groove in the bushing. Also replace the
ground wire (Figure 25, #4).
The right bushing (Figure 25, #2) is somewhat similar
but needs only one screw
. On the bushing itself is a
notch that must sit in a cut-out in the frame. Once these
bushings are installed, the tabs on each end of the
paper bail, when it is lifted up, should rest on the
grooves in the bushings.
