tate the take-up shaft counter clockwise (opposite to the direction
that the paper was rolled on the machine. (See
Figure 23

The larger the roll, the more rotations are required to free the shaft.
When the shaft freely rotates, lay the roll on the ground.
5.
Continue to twist the shaft counter clockwise while pulling it out
of the paper roll until it is free.
