3. Beforehand, remove the soldering from the soldered

part of the MC-1 PWB assembly, in order to prevent the
mode switch 

6

 being warped. Solder the mode switch

6

 after tightening the screw 

5

 (See Fig. 3-15-1 ) .

4. Align the hole in the crescent slide 

!™

 with the hole in

 in Fig. 3-

15-2 (refer to section 3-16 and see the holes 

5

 and 

6

in Fig. 3-16-1).

5. When fitting the main cam 

4

, position the mode switch

6

 and the front rack gear 

!£

 as shown at points 

C

 and

D

 respectively in Fig. 3-15-2.

6. When fitting the gear wheel 2 

2

, position the main cam

4

 and the wheel gear 1 

!¢

 as shown at points

8) Refer to section 3-13-2, then remove the wheel gear 1

and the brake control lever.

9) Remove the two screws 

!¡

, then remove the crescent

mounting 

!™

.

10) Remove the clamps 

1

 and 

2

, then raise the right end

3

 slightly. Slide the crescent slide

3

 to the right until it comes away from the clamp 

4

,

then remove it.

1. Apply grease (VHJ-0100) to the points 

A

, 

B

, 

C

 and 

D

in Fig. 3-16-1, and to the crescent slide 

3

 shown in

Fig. 3-16-2.

2. Before fitting the crescent slide 

3

, refer to section 3-13-

3 and align the arrow on the S brake act slide with the
arrow on the mechanism chassis. Then refer to Fig. 3-
17-3 and check that the S load gear and the T load gear
have completed tape unloading.

3. When assembling the parts, raise the right side of the

crescent slide 

3

 slightly, and keeping it in this position,

slot the left side into the clamp 

4

, then align the hole

5

 with the hole 

6

 in the mechanism chassis. When

you do this, check that the hole 

7

 is aligned with the

pin 

8

 on the BT spring lever assembly, and that the

hole 

9

 is aligned with the pin 

0

 on the S brake act

slide, before pressing the crescent slide 

3

 into place.

Check that the clamps 

1

, 

2

 and 

4

 are engaged.

4. After assembly, check that each leverand each brake is

working properly.

  particularly generously.

 Fig. 3-16-2

1) Refer to section 3-16 and remove the crescent slide.
2) Refer to section 3-14-2 and remove the S and T incline

mounting assemblies.

3) Remove the clamp 

1

, then remove the components:

the S load gear 

2

, the S load spring 

3

 and the S load

lever assembly 

4

. When you do this, be careful not to

damage the clamp 

1

, which can be damaged easily.

Again, be careful when you disassemble the compo-
nents, as the S load spring 

3

 will spring out.

4) Remove the following components: the T load gear 

5

,

the T load spring 

6

, and the T load lever assembly 

7

.

Be careful when you disassemble the components, as
the T load spring 

6

 will spring out.

1. Apply grease (VHJ-0100) to the shafts 

8

, 

9

 and parts

A shown in Fig. 3-17-1. Then apply grease (VHJ-0100) to
the parts shown in Fig. 3-17-2.

2. When fitting the S load gear 

2

 and the T load gear 

5

align them in the tape-loaded state, as shown in Fig. A in
Fig. 3-17-3. Again, after completing tape-unloading on
these gears, check that they are positioned as shown in
Fig. B in Fig. 3-17-3, then refer to section 3-14-2 and fit
the S and T incline mounting assemblies.
