[Items Required for Replacement]
� Replacement stainless sheet

[Note on Stainless Sheet Tension]
Deterioration and wear of the stainless sheet is affected by its tension.
If the stainless sheet is too tight, excessive clearances will be created between the sheet and slider covers and
the sheet may undergo a fatigue failure.
If the stainless sheet is too loose, the sheet will contact the back of the slider covers and generate shaving.
Therefore, use a dedicated adjustment tool to properly adjust the tension of the stainless sheet so that the
clearances between the stainless sheet and slider covers conform to the specified dimension.
