The internal construction of the machine consists of 10 modules connected to a Main Frame.
The modular construction allows for separate cleaning of the modules. For proper cleaning some parts needed to be removed from a module. In some cases a small gas torch (See: Repair Info) was necessary to loosen stuck parts.

Most common are stuck control levers.  For an example of a small part of the Bottom Sub-Assembly see the photo in the bottom corner of this page. Most of the control levers  are located in Main Frame, Bottom Sub-Assembly and Back Corner Panel, often easily accessable, but unfortunately sometimes hidden behind other controls. Most controls are kept in place by an E-clip. Removal of the E-clip and taking of the control lever is necessary to remove all hardened grease. Often applying WD40 and allowing it to solve grease a bit helps to get some movement in parts. In some cases WD40 failed to loosen a part. In those cases I always managed to loosen a part by carefully applying local heat with a small gas torch.

Last but not least: I wouldn’t have managed to repair my machine without some documentation Google found on the internet:
