•Set the loop length by pulling the film head away from you and align it with the loop mark on the bottom of the magazine (see picture above). Adjust the loop length by turning the take-up film core.

•Now take your hand off the film core – there is enough inertia in the sprockets to maintain the loop length.

•Hold the film between thumb and middle finger of your left hand, while using your index finger to push the film head into the lower magazine throat slot. The angle at which the film enters is not as critical as it is on SR magazines.

•Keep pushing the film in with your index finger until you see the sprockets rotate. Now take hold of the film core again and rotate it counter-clockwise. This will pull the film from the throat into the take-up chamber.
