Feed Handle Won't Return

Back to 333 Service Start Page

I

This is a fairly simple problem to correct. Handle Return Spring, M200HRS (Ref FM48AX) is probably broken.

Replacing Handle Return Spring - See Service Figure 2

1. Set machine up right on it's back cover

2. There should be 2 long springs visible. The Rocker Tension Spring - 

    M200CRS (Ref FM33AX) is located closest to left frame. The Handle Return

     Spring  M200HRS (Ref FM48AX) is just to the right of the Rocker Tension Spring. 

3. The Handle Return Spring attaches to the Hammer Cam. 

    This is a black wooden cam located just under the Upper Tape Plate. 

    The Hammer Cam has a small  hole on the piece that protrudes

    The short clip side of the Handle Return Spring goes through this hole.

4  With the spring clipped to the Hammer Cam, run the spring around the 

    silver bar and black wooden roller

5. Clip other end of spring (long clip side) to the middle hole in the Lower Shelf..
