Getting to these guides is not easy and we mostly replace the adf with a unit from a known working unit. We had one tech that actually cut off the guide fingers to resolve the problem, which is not a recommended action. Since the swing guide is gravity actuated, we suspect that it binds up due to contamination on the shaft, Why it is always the second swing guide from our observations is still a mystery. We even rebuilt one of these with this problem in the shop and ran thousands of pages through the adf using sim 203, only to have it fail again in actual use. It is a frustrating problem and if anyone has a resolution we would be more than happy to hear about it as we have a number of these adf's sitting useless in our inventory.
