Section IX.  MAINTENANCE OF TOOL BOARD

TM 10-3610-203-14 (6) Remove screws (2) from upper portion of mounting brackets (13) and move yoke shaft bushings (10) clear of mounting bracket openings. (7) Lift yoke shaft (8) out of mounting bracket openings. CAUTION When  removing  color  press,  secure  yoke  shaft  bushings  (10)  to  turnbuckles  (11)  to  prevent  cylinder surface damage. (8) Remove the color press assembly, leaving mounting brackets in position on the duplicating machine. NOTE If the mounting brackets are undamaged, they may be retained for use with new color pres. (9) If necessary, remove mounting brackets (13) by removing attaching screws (3) and releasing setscrews (4 and 5). b. Installation. (1) Adjust setscrews (4, fig.  4-8) so as to clear the opening in the top portion of each mounting bracket (13). (2) Position mounting brackets on duplicating machine and install attaching screws (3). (3) Tighten setscrews (5) to provide for a snug fit against duplicating machine frame. (4) Tighten setscrew (4) on each mounting bracket. (5) Remove the ink and water fountain control knobs.  (See fig.  4-6.) (6) Remove the knobs from the ink and water feed control shafts.  (See fig.  4-6 and 4-7.) (7) Remove the two screws which attach the left and right guards and remove the guards. (8) Remove the ink and water oscillators and the number 2 form from the color press assembly in accordance with commercial manual instructions. (9) Loosen the three main tie rod (16, fig.  4-8) attaching and adjusting nuts(6). (10) Position the color press assembly on the mounting brackets with the bolts on holddown bar (7) protruding through the rear holes of the mounting brackets (13). (11) Position yoke shaft (8) through slotted holes in mounting brackets and insert screw (2). (12) Install holddown bar attachment nuts (1) and secure main tie rod attaching and adjusting nuts (6). (13) Place  a  level  on  the  duplicator  blanket  cylinder  and  then  on  the  color  press  plate  cylinder.  The  level indications should be identical.  If they are not, adjust color press plate cylinder as follows: (a) Loosen holddown bar attachment nuts (1). (b) Adjust leveling screws (9) until level indications of duplicator blanket cylinder and color press plate cylinder are identical. (c) Tighten holddown bar attachment nuts (1). (14) Loosen the main tie rod attaching and adjusting nuts (6).  The center bolt acts as a pivot point in relation to the turnbuckles (11).  The two outside bolts pass through elongated holes in the holddown bar (7), to permit movement around the pivot point, when adjusting the turnbuckles (11). (15) Position yoke shaft bushings (10) into mounting brackets, ensuring that slot in bushing is uppermost and is visible in the bracket openings. (16) Secure  screws  (2)  in  mounting  brackets  at  the  same  time  moving  the  yoke  shaft  pressure  handle  (15) backwards and forwards until a tightening in the handle is felt. (17) With pressure applied to the pressure handle,  adjust  turnbuckles  (11)  until  the  color  press  plate  and  duplicator  blanket  cylinders  are  approximately  parallel. This is achieved by sighting between the two cylinders and adjusting each until any light visible between the two can no longer be seen. (18) Check that slots in yoke shaft bushings are still uppermost and that slight pressure can still be felt in the yoke shaft pressure handle (15). (19) Install  the  ink  and  water  oscillators  and  the  number  2  form  in  accordance  with  commercial  manual instructions. 4-24
