Carriage Assembly

Locate the (4) R4 Bearings and (8) Bearing Covers.

Start by laying a sleeve half on the table, face up. Set an R4ZZ bearing into it and firmly press it into place.

Now set another sleeve half on the table and press the R4ZZ bearing and sleeve into the new sleeve half to complete the carriage wheel.

Repeat this process for the (3) remaining bearings.

Locate the Inner and Outer Spring Arms, shown in the animation.

The spring arm is easy to assemble, but the small posts are a very tight fit, so be careful when assembling them. Note that each arm half has an “inside” and “outside” to it.

Slide two sleeved R4ZZ bearings on to the outer spring arm posts as shown.

Next, press the inner spring arm on to the two mating posts that are on the outer spring arm. (Ensure the curvature of the spring arms are in the same orientation)

This is a very tight fit. You can get each side started by aligning the holes in the inner spring arm over the posts in the outer spring arm and then tap them into place with the handle of your P2 screwdriver. You want the pins fully seated.

Locate the Carriage Mounting Plate, M10 Anti-BackLash Nut, 10-32 Knurled Thumb Screw, (3) #4 Pan Head Phillips Screws, and (3)#4 Washers.

The Carriage Mounting Plate is symetrical, so it does not matter which side you attach the Anti-Backlash nut to, so long as the orientation from the animation is kept in regards to the Anti-Backlash nut and the Knurled Thumb Screw

The #4 Pan Head screws will self tap into the Anti-Backlash nut. At this time, you should NOT fully tighten these screws.

You can however fully tighten the Knurled Thumb Screw.
