Loading the Film, Feed Side
Feel for the opening for threading.

it further into the opening. Simultaneously feel on the
gear when the film engages with the internal sprocket.
Be sure thast dual perforations is correctly loaded
(emulsion side inward, B winding).
Carefully turn the gear further in the direction of the arrow
(clockwise) until the film emerges from the magazine throat.
Pull some of the film out of the magazine throat.
If the film cannot be loaded at the first at-
tempt, cut off a piece of film and try again.
Never use force!
Attaching the Film Roll
Hold the film roll over the center of the shaft.
Place the film on the shaft and push the core as far as
it will go onto the core adapter, without pressing on
the film. The film will otherwise become conical and
cause noise during operation.
The spring on the core adapter can be locked into the
groove in the film core by turning the film core on the
core adapter.
Ensure that the film core is locked in place.
Carefully place the guide roller arm on the film roll.
Ensure that the guide roller is centered and guides the
film roll on both sides.
