A. Dimensional Check
(1) Measure the dimension Z between each proximity sensor and its target. The correct dimension should be 2.0 mm (0.0787 in.) +/- 0.5 mm (0.0197 in.).
(2) If the dimension Z is incorrect, do the adjustment procedure in Para 4.B.(1), steps (a) thru (n).
(3) Measure the dimension X between the center line of each proximity sensor and its target. The correct dimension must be to a maximum of 3.5 mm (0.1378 in.) each side of the center line.
(4) If the dimension X is incorrect, do the adjustment procedure in Para 4.B.(2), steps (a) thru (i).
