6.5 Procedures for Replacement and Adjustment of Stainless Steel
Sheet
Described below explains how to replace and adjust the stainless steel sheet.
Those parts such as screws taken off for replacement work are necessary when assembling the
product back. It is recommended to prepare a storage box in advance to starting the work, so the
taken off parts can be kept in it.
[Required Items]
• Replacement stainless steel sheet
• Scale
• Box-end wrench (7mm)
• Adhesive tape
• Oil-based marker
• Tension gauge (having two forked hooks)
[Notes]
(1) Stainless steel sheet tension
Improper tension of the stainless steel sheet can promote deterioration and wear of the sheet.
If the stainless steel sheet is too taut and the clearance from the slider cover becomes
exceeds 1mm, the stainless steel sheet may undergo fatigue failure.
On the other hand, excessive slacks cause the stainless steel sheet to contact the back of the
slider cover.
(2) Checking the clearance between the stainless steel sheet and the back of the slider cover
The stainless steel sheet is replaced without removing the slider cover.
Therefore, the clearance between the stainless steel sheet and the back of the slider cover
cannot be measured or checked directly.
The stainless steel sheet must be tensioned so that this clearance becomes 1mm.
