TDA025 Feed Lever Reset
- Turn unit over and remove 4 screws that hold the top to the base.
- Using hand crank, cycle cutter arm until it is away from the turntable. (Make sure that the length adjustment is all the way back.)
- Remove top from base by pressing down on the tape holder arm and pushing up at an angle under the turntable directly across from the tape holder arm.
- Remove #62 screws from #61 gear cover.
- Remove gear cover and locate #68 lever.
- The #68 lever has a tension spring (a smaller version of #67). One end of this spring goes over the tab on the black base, and the other end hooks onto the silver swiveling piece. The tension should be such that the silver piece engages with the gear.
- Test the lever by cycling it with the #66 handle. This should turn the gears and move the cutting head.
- If successful, replace gear cover.
- Replace top on machine. Use caution not to bend fan blades. Also, the slot on #3 must be aligned to fit over the spring-loaded arm that is attached to the turntable adjustment knob.
- Replace 4 screws that hold top onto base.
If the above does not work, the #68 lever needs to be replaced. Removing the motor chassis from the base and sliding the lever off of the gear shaft do this.
