If the clutch rollers appear to be worn they will need to be replaced. To order new rollers or for instructions on replacing the rollers please contact Asahi Seiko at 1(800) 859-5353
If the clutch roller does not require replacing, it should be cleaned with Isopropyl Alcohol or a mild detergent and a lint free cloth.
The roller should be rotated by hand, ensuring that all of the surface which makes contact with the card is clean.
Checking Belt Tension
It is critical for the correct operation of the unit, that the two main drivebelts are correctly adjusted.
The drive belts should be visually inspected for damage or wear.
If any of the ‘teeth’ are worn or rounded, the belt should be replaced. Also verify the orange belts are not loose enough to fall off.
Position Sensors
Ensure the 3 black position sensors are clean. To clean, wipe the lens surface with a clean dry cloth.
Ensure the 3 white sensor connectors are plugged in properly and fully seated.
Middle Carriage
Please ensure the plastic tabs underneath the middle metal carriage are intact. If cards are getting stuck in the middle carriage, the plastic tabs have most likely been damaged or have fallen off. The below pictures show a middle carriage with no tabs(left) and with tabs(right).
To open the middle carriage, unscrew the four screws on the top.
